Leftists are so obsessive about the Trump collusion hoax that they’re seeing ‘connections’ in probably the most ridiculous of locations, together with the selection of tie that Battle Secretary Pete Hegseth wore yesterday. Not surprisingly, the newest conspiracy concept relating to Trump-Russia backfired.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, a high-stakes assembly Friday involving President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy came about within the Cupboard Room of the White Home, a departure from the everyday Oval Workplace conferences that the President holds with international leaders.
This assembly additionally got here after Trump repeatedly urged that he would supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine for offensive functions by promoting them to NATO.
Nevertheless, liberals have been significantly triggered by Hegseth’s selection of clothes. The Battle Secretary determined to put on a crimson, white, and blue tie to the assembly, the colours of the U.S. flag and a handful of different nations, together with Russia.
Naturally, leftists promptly assumed Hegseth was honoring Russia and trolling Zelensky to his face.
