Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his younger brother, Phil, into the Pentagon in a high-profile job as a Department of Homeland Security liaison and senior adviser. Phil Hegseth’s publicly available resume lists his past experience as founder of his own podcast production company, Embassy and Third, and his work on social media and podcasts.

It’s not the first time Phil Hegseth has worked alongside his older brother. When Pete Hegseth was CEO of Concerned Veterans for America, a nonprofit that fell into financial difficulty during his time there, he paid his brother $108,000 to do media relations for the organization, according to federal tax records.

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed Phil Hegseth’s job title and said this “interagency mission is part of Mr. Hegseth’s preview,” presumably meaning “purview.”


Tomato, tomatoh... preview, purview.

Anywho, DEI is the worstest but giving your younger brother cushy jobs that he's not qualified to hold is the bestest.

Well, it got Jared Kushner $2 billion bucks and republicans didn't bat an eye.

You can't be shocked shocked. That corruption exists across party lines and at all levels of government. Which is why government needs to be 1.) controlled and 2.) cleaned if not decreased.

Hunter Biden, anyone?
Dick Cheney.
Carlo DiMaria (Everett Mass)
Michael McLaughlin (Chelsea Mass)
John Pigsley (MBTA)

on and on and on and on

FlyingCircus: Hunter Biden, anyone? Dick Cheney...

Where in government did Hunter Biden work, please? Are any of those individuals guilty of governmental nepotism? Ivanka and Jared clearly would be better examples, no?

Give me a break.

We are seeing corruption like we have never seen before.

Don't give us false equivalence. Are your eyes OPEN!
