Pentagon Reporter Slams Pete Hegseth for Denying Poor Conditions in U.S. Carrier: ‘Gaslighting Our Force Is Disrespectful’

‘At a minimum, they deserve transparency and accountability’

RUSH EXCERPT:

OLIVERIO: “Thanks for having me back, Erin. It’s great to be here, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond. It’s not really me that he’s responding to. It’s the countless sailors who have reached out to military times and to other news outlets they trust with their organic photos. Parents who are sharing native chat sessions with their kids, spouses doing the same. Um, these are not fabrications. They’re not stretches of the truth. Like you mentioned back in April when the usa today broke out pictures on the mess decks of what any American would qualify as an adequate nutrition for our service members and our all volunteer force of service members who are in extraordinary conditions right now. Um, I think gaslighting are force is disrespectful and at a minimum, they deserve transparency and accountability.”
