Meet the always cringeworthy Pete Hegseth

 

Video screengrab and headline:  Daily Beast, 8/19/2025

Cameron Adams reports:

One scene in the promotional video shows Hegseth, 45, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 71, walking through the corridors of the Pentagon. A photograph that appears to show Hegseth and third wife Jennifer Rauchet is on the wall, as well as what looks like various military snaps of Hegseth in action.  [emphasis added]

Pete Hegseth is 45 years old.
