Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump's press secretary pick, deleting her social media post. Donald Trump's health secretary pick, deleting his social media post. Donald Trump's Defense Secretary pick, deleting his social media post. Donald Trump's pick for ambassador to the United Nations deleting her social media posts and her press releases. We see this pattern taking place across Donald Trump's picks. These are people who Are willing to do anything and everything to take power and are willing to just completely lie and think it's okay to delete their pest. For example, CNN uncovered that Trump's incoming White House press secretary purged her tweets, praising Mike Pence for certifying the election results and praising the Capitol Police.

Just a year later, she ran for Congress, denying the 2020 election. Results. For example, she posted a video of Capitol police officers protecting the Capitol from insurrectionists, and she posted Hero. She also posted a video of Mike Pence, who was giving a speech condemning the insurrection. And then she wrote, Vice President Mike Pence was a steady hand through the chaos that ensued at our Capitol yesterday. Love him or hate him, he kept the wheel. Of democracy moving and pushed forward to certify his own laws. Thank you, Mr. Vice President. It was an honor to serve you. She's now deleting posts like that. Defense Secretary, uh Donald Trump's Defense Secretary pick Pete Hegsith, who now faces new boos, strippers, debt, and NDA claims at a veterans group that he ran.

What pattern emerges from the deletions of press‑secretary and health‑secretary nominees?

Ben Meiselas 1:38
He's deleting posts. Posts as well, like a post where he said, here's a link to donate to Laura Loomer's campaign, a right-wing extremist who's very close with Donald Trump, Laura Loomer. Spreads 9-11 conspiracies and has just said the most heinous and despicable things uh that she's posted about. Um, you remember our reporting on how she would follow Donald Trump around throughout the campaign, which a lot of other corporate media somewhat picked up on, but didn't really give it justice. But um, Pete Hegsith uh uh is someone who has praised her, and she is a 9-11 conspirator. Theorist. Also, RFK Jr. deleting tweets faster than he dumped dead bears in Central Park. Give Hoodlum credit for that joke. RFK Jr.
Ben Meiselas 2:29
says, let's be honest, the NRA is responsible for child murders as if they pulled the trigger. NRA has turned the Second Amendment into a suicide pact for our children. When do we deal with the NRA? RFK Jr. deleted that. RFK Jr. also used Russian photos during his campaign for the presidency, and he deleted them once he was caught. You can see right here when you zoom in, um all of the language here is in uh Russia and um just doing Russian images. He's also deleted this tweet that he recently made saying, I got box bollin for my entire family. If you want to stay in good shape, get boxballin and work out every day the ideal stocking stuffer from kids to grandparents.

How did Pete Hegseth’s past controversies surface before his defense‑secretary nomination?

Ben Meiselas 3:18
I mean, he's just like selling crap right now. Um, by the way, he didn't delete this, but his wife, Cheryl Hines, who's forever ruined Kirby. Your enthusiasm for me. Over this past weekend, she was selling uh products as well. She was selling Make America Healthy Again products, standing in front of a uh uh RFK Junior who was naked in the shower. Um, and they I'm not gonna show you the video, but um, she was selling 60% of her uh products over here as well. Well, um, I want to be very clear that this is serious uh disinformation, and then I'm about to read that this is real dangerous, horrific lies that RFK Jr. spread about um vaccines and about um modern day medicine. Again, I want to be very clear about that warning right here, but I want to show you what he said to just demonstrate the lies that he spread.
Ben Meiselas 4:14
But here are things that he has deleted. He goes, each one of those shots is billed as a medical advance. So our children should be healthier than ever. But the opposite is true. We have to seriously study whether the scores of shots children receive, literally starting on the first day of their lives, is doing more harm than good.
