In the midst of the fallout from the leak of a Signal chat group, dubbed “Signal Gate” by some of the more unimaginative denizens of the left, National Review Executive Editor Mark Antonio Wright decided to write a piece titled, “Yes, Pete Hegseth Should Be Fired for What He Texted — and for Lying About It.”

Yes, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who faced a relentless assault of smears during his nomination process, should just be thrown away a little over two months after his confirmation, according to the once-vaunted bastion of conservative thought — National Review.

Sound familiar? Maybe because it’s the same line taken by practically every left-wing outlet.

And National Review didn’t start with that piece. It has been in lock-step with the propaganda press since the initial Atlantic story broke.
