"The Daily Caller reached out to West Point to ask how the false information was relayed, if there was any further communication between the school and ProPublica, and if the officials who shared the false information were being disciplined. They did not answer the questions and refused to accept a phone call to discuss the story further."
"After a West Point spokesperson falsely claimed that Pete Hegseth had not even applied to the institution, much less been accepted, journalism outfit ProPublica reached out to Hegseth’s lawyer, asserting that the Secretary of Defense nominee had lied and gave him a one hour deadline to respond.
"Hegseth posted on Wednesday morning a photo of his acceptance to West Point and said ProPublica was planning on posting “a knowingly false report” that he was not accepted to the school in 1999. ProPublica editor Jesse Eisinger then responded with a Twitter thread, explaining that the outlet had done “real journalism” and determined something they heard was not true and that they would not be posting their story. Eisinger wrote that journalists must give the subject of a story a “fair chance to respond to all of the salient facts in the story.”
We understand that ProPublica (the Left Wing hack group) is planning to publish a knowingly false report that I was not accepted to West Point in 1999.

"However, emails and apparent phone transcripts obtained by the Caller reveal that ProPublica themselves did not do that in pursuit of the Hegseth story." . . .
Seven GOP Senators Most Likely To Stand Between Trump And His Dream Cabinet
"I guarantee it will be the biggest mistake of their lives for even a single Republican Senator to hesitate in confirming every Cabinet appointee. We, the middle class working voters, overwhelming selected Donald Trump to do for us exactly what he has promised. We did not vote for these elitist Senators, nor do we care about their unimportant opinions. Their only response needs to be, "Yes, sir." If these insignificant Senators suddenly become self-important legends in their own minds, those of us who supported President Trump will do everything in our power to make sure these Senators become among the unemployed, and that their remaining time in office is miserable."
