Pete Hegseth Blows $93 Billion of Taxpayer Funds on Crab, Pianos, and Fruit Baskets

from The Mayday Daily Dispatch · host The Mayday Network

[RECORDED LIVE TUES MARCH 10] Brewster’s Billions. Except Montgomery Brewster had to spend his own money. Pete Hegseth spent yours. A $98,000 Steinway. A handmade Japanese flute. King crab — five times. $225 million in furniture. All of it in a single month, while the average American is rationing insulin, drowning in student debt, and trying to keep the lights on. A GOP senator is now asking the obvious question: if we’re spending $1.5 trillion on defense, can someone explain the fruit basket stands? Julie and Michelle get into it. The Daily Dispatch with Julie Roginsky and Michelle Kinney is brought to you by The Mayday Network — women-founded, women-led independent media, built for a country in crisis.
