In a meeting with hundreds of U.S. generals and admirals: “It’s unacceptable seeing ‘fat generals and admirals’ in the halls of the Pentagon, and leading commands around the country and the world. It’s a bad look.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Ebony McMorris, reporter for American Urban Radio Networks (AURN): “Mr. President, what are your plans for—” McMorris began (one of the few Black reporters in the WH Press Corps). “Quiet.
