How the NBC News Hit Piece Against Pete Hegseth Just Got Worse, But for a Different Reason

You cannot make this up: one of the NBC News reporters who wrote the shoddy hit piece against President Trump’s nominee for secretary of defense is accused in an internal complaint of making false claims of sexism and misogyny.

You read that right. And she then had the balls to run with this cockamamie story of Mr. Hegseth reportedly being threatening toward his second wife, who later refuted the allegations, characterizing them as inaccurate information. NBC News ran with it anyway. To boot, the allegations weren’t even brought forward by Mr. Hegseth’s ex-wife but by the ex-spouse of his brother. Are you kidding me?

Amazing but unsurprising news: Courtney Kube, one of the NBC News “reporters” behind the recent hit pieces on Pete Hegseth, is the subject of a complaint at NBC accusing her of making false claims of sexism & misogyny.

A really bad day for @ckubeNBC and @NBCNews as they now grapple with the fact that #CourtneyKube knowingly ran a false story nationally, after being provided direct comment and facts from the very person the story was about. The liability for her and #NBC will be significant.
