"The Pharisees — the so-called and self-appointed elites of their time — they were there to witness, to write everything down, to report. But their hearts were hardened," he said. "Even though they witnessed a literal miracle, it didn’t matter. They were only there to explain away the goodness in pursuit of their agenda." "I sat there in church and I thought, our press are just like these Pharisees," he continued. "Not all of you. Not all of you. But the legacy, Trump-hating press. Your politically motivate animus for President Trump nearly completely blinds you from the brilliance of our American warriors." #hegseth #trump #iran #politics #cspan LJMOuesOAbs 6E3YewkQLID jfoRbawtxtG zsnMSX1CwjH kmhsQXVnWLJ
