Conservatives rally around Hegseth after he turns tables on Hillary Clinton with Russia 'reset' photo​


Conservatives on social media praised Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Sunday after he responded to an attack from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with a photo that was seen over 2 million times on X.

"Wouldn’t want to hurt Putin’s feelings," Clinton posted on X over the weekend along with a Gizmodo headline that read, "Trump’s Defense Secretary Hegseth Orders Cyber Command to ‘Stand Down’ on All Russia Operations."

Hegseth responded to the post with a photo of Clinton smiling with Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov in March 2009 in which the two are holding a "reset" button that was meant to symbolize a reset of relations between the two countries.

Hegseth's post was reposted over 10,000 times on X with over 3,000 comments and over 70,000 likes.

Fox News Digital reached out to Clinton's office for comment.

Democrats have been highly critical of the Trump administration in recent days and attacked the president as being aligned with Russia based on the heated Oval Office exchange between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy on Friday.

The Trump administration has maintained that the controversy shows Zelenskyy is not serious about peace talks, and Trump has publicly said the Ukrainian president can return to the White House at a later time to resume negotiations.

"We should spend less time worrying about Putin, and more time worrying about migrant rape gangs, drug lords, murderers, and people from mental institutions entering our Country - So that we don’t end up like Europe!" Trump recently posted on Truth Social over the weekend.

 
Talk about grasping for straws.

So you're saying it didn't take much for the right to get excited? This is a giant nothing burger.

Remind me which sovereign country Russia had invaded and was occupying at the time?

I don't really consider Ukraine an ally. They are more of a corrupt country in need.

1. In all honesty, I do think that Hillary is something of a root cause in terms of our Russia problem, dating back to her SoS days. Set aside the nato stuff (which i don't really buy), it became pretty clear that they were going to be viewed as second tier citizens by her and not have a seat at the table on the big stage. which they didn't like, given their 20th century pedigree.
2. The russiagate stuff was interference, but really not so much with the idea of getting trump to win (they 'invested' when he was at 2% in the R primary and so the idea that he could win was still laughable) as to show the world under the expected president clinton that our electoral system wasn't all it was cracked up to be as she badmouthed theirs. ultimately about international messaging and old school cold war tactics.
3. It of course ended up backfiring because trump did win but the ensuing russiagate matter made them even more radioactive to deal with and isolated.
4. So they doubled down under Biden when we were coming out of covid, and went all in in ukr. I don't blame biden for not escalating or putting boots on the ground, but it was ultimately not the right call.
5. Now they're in, and while they won't win, they're not going to be displaced either.
6. The thing is, even if they weren't as much "the bad guys" at stage 1 above, they sure are now. So while I am cynical and realistic enough to 'like' initiatives to stop the war at the unfortunate cost of rewarding the bad guy, in my world, we should be at least a decade away from talking about a "reset".
7. But either way, she should give it a rest, for the sake of the country, her party, and herself.
