Newsmax' Greg Kelly Still Railing Against Hegseth, Despite Gag Order
Yesterday, we got the news (via Mediate) that Newsmax CEO Chris Muddy will no longer accept criticism of Trump's nominees by Newsmax hosts, that they're supposed to “focus on the positive,” hosts should explain to viewers that the claims against him are allegations and then “pivot.” Chief Operating Officer Elliot Jacobson warned, “Any issues following this will result in termination.”
I guess Host Greg Kelly still hasn't gotten the memo as he's continued his crusade against Hegseth as he has for the last several weeks, believing that Hegseth is unfit to be Secretary of Defense.

GREG KELLY (HOST): So Pete Hegseth is the nominee for secretary of defense. And, yeah, I don't think he's qualified. And I actually don't think he's going to get that job because -- well, because of a lot of things, but mostly this - he suggested we watch the Megyn Kelly interview. So, well, I did.

KELLY: OK. That's blackmail. He was blackmailed, and that's a problem. And that's why he can't be secretary of defense. I'm sorry. He's a very talented guy. I said that last week. Big future doing something, but it can't be secretary of defense. It's obvious.
