The New York Times has sunk to a new low after someone leaked an email his mother wrote him years ago when she was admittedly emotional and angry.

The Times reached out to Hegseth’s mother for a phone interview and she completely disavowed the contents of her angry email, saying she immediately wrote a follow-up email to him apologizing for what she’d written. She defended her son and told the the Times that what she’d written when she was emotional was absolutely untrue.

Mrs. Hegseth, in a phone interview with The New York Times on Friday, said that she had sent her son an immediate follow-up email at the time apologizing for what she had written. She said she had fired off the original email “in anger, with emotion” at a time when he and his wife were going through a very difficult divorce.

In the interview, she defended her son and disavowed the sentiments she had expressed in the initial email about his character and treatment of women. “It is not true. It has never been true,” she said. She added: “I know my son. He is a good father, husband.” She said that publishing the contents of the first email was “disgusting.”

But that didn’t stop the Times from publishing the email anyway in order to smear Hegseth via his mother’s email. I’m not going to reprint the smear here because the only intent of their article is to damage Hegseth before his hearings next year to be Secretary of Defense.

What’s amazing is that these are the same people who ignore actual scandals of Democrats, like the Biden crime family, but when it comes to Republicans they’ll post actual falsehoods in order to try and defeat them.

Did you notice that the author actually took down the paywall on this article to get as many people to read it as possible? Pure evil.
