<p>Decorated Army veteran <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pete-hegseth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pete Hegseth</a> gave a curt response when asked, while on Capitol Hill, to respond to recent reports from CNN regarding his own previous statements.</p>
<p>Hegseth was on the Hill to meet with members of the U.S. Senate ahead of confirmation hearings — which will ultimately determine whether he will serve as President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s incoming Secretary of Defense — and as he walked from office to office, he was peppered with questions from the press.</p>
<p>A former Fox News colleague of Hegseth&#8217;s, current network host Will Cain, shared a video of one such exchange with the comment, &#8220;The evolution of a legacy brand from biased … to agenda … to propaganda … to embarrassment … to irrelevant.&#8221;</p>

<p>As Hegseth walked down the hallway, the first question came: &#8220;Do you believe that gay people should be allowed to serve in the military?&#8221;</p>
<p>Hegseth&#8217;s answer was unequivocal: &#8220;Yes.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was the follow-up question that gave him pause: &#8220;Can you just respond to the CNN report this morning? It was highlighting some of your previous comments, saying —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t feel the need to respond to CNN,&#8221; Hegseth interrupted, and kept walking. Someone else could be heard telling the reporter, &#8220;Have a good day, Ma&#8217;am.&#8221;</p>

<p>The reporter tried again anyway, prompting Hegseth: &#8220;You are comfortable with gay people serving openly in the military?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Did you hear what I said there?&#8221; Hegseth asked, clearly referencing his earlier answer to the same question.</p>
<p>&#8220;Have a good day, Ma&#8217;am,&#8221; the reporter was dismissed again.</p>
<p>In another such instance, Hegseth explained why he was meeting with senators from both sides of the political aisle, saying, &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing political about the DOD and we&#8217;re going to make sure politics is not a part of it. So, meeting with Democrats just like I&#8217;m meeting with Republicans is a huge part of our approach.&#8221;</p>
