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?”
