MADE UP: Hegseth Blasts Fake Story He Had Make-Up Room Installed at Pentagon

Another fake media mob hit…

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth blasted a CBS News report this week that stated he had a make-up room installed at the Pentagon.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently ordered modifications to a room next to the Pentagon press briefing room to retrofit it with a makeup studio that can be used to prepare for television appearances, multiple sources told CBS News.

Hegseth says the story is a load of bullschiff — he posted the following on X:

1) Totally fake story. No “orders” and no “makeup” — but whatever. 2) We should have installed tampon machines in every men’s bathroom at DoD instead — the leftist “news” media would have loved that.

CBS reported that the Pentagon initially eyed a $40,000 remodeling plan for the Green Room before scaling it back.

A spokesperson told The New York Post that officials received an initial estimate of $10,000-$15,000, but “did not pursue those options” and instead spent “a few hundred dollars to cut, stain, and install a wooden countertop in the room.”

“The Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs recently upgraded a space known informally as the ‘Green Room,’ to offer senior leaders and VIPs a place to prepare before press engagements before appearing on television,” the spokesperson added.

“Most of the changes in the Green Room were recycled furniture modifications–a director’s style chair, mirror, and a makeup light—all of which were added from existing inventories.  A countertop was added and constructed internally.”

The Defense Department’s “Rapid Response” published an image of the revamped facility, asking: “Does the fake news NOT have anything better to do?”

Does the fake news NOT have anything better to do?

1. No lighted mirror.
2. It didn't cost thousands.
3. The items that were added to the GREEN ROOM (not a makeup studio) came from existing inventory.
