How is this “newsworthy” exactly? Prominent people ignore reporters more often than not.

[frostedsleet]

He should ignore them because they a fake news.

[Nathan-mwbv]

I would've flipped off the press.

[theonlytruetuhlulah]

Its need to know, and you don't need to know. 😊

[WorthlessDeadEnd]

Are we so short on news that we have to report when politicians ignore reporters? Why is this news? 😆

[TheSilverSphincter]

I COULDNT EVEN UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION..WAS IT ENGLISH???

[K.naveryU]

That’s it? Him walking down the hall 🤦🏼‍♀️

[ardiffley-zipkin]

Title poorly written - The nominees are not suppose to discuss what they talk about. This is just a “Howdy. “ call before the hearings next month.

[theambiguoustruth]

Media hates him he must be the man for the job!

[patriciastevenson]

I don't know why everyone is so upset about him hes just like trump so of course these are the kind of people trump would have around him.

[davidguelette]

Anything you say can and will be used against you.With his baggage he should shut up.

[KaliMaaaaa]

Pervy Pete. do the right thing for once, withdraw your name. You are an embarrassment. I salute your mother, that is what courage looks like!

[sallifrancis]

Pete needs to leave the arm candy at home

*Senator Joni Ernst: Hegseth faces an uphill battle for confirmation.*

[patriciacullen]
