Fox Business host Liz Claman on Sunday urged Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to go away press conferences to the generals if he’s going to get so “triggered” over truthful questions. (Watch the video beneath.)

Claman, showing on “MediaBuzz,” took Fox News alum Hegseth to process for snapping at Jennifer Griffin, a former colleague on the conservative information channel, final week.

Host Howard Kurtz launched a clip of Hegseth lashing out on the media for reporting on a professional early Pentagon appraisal that contradicted President Donald Trump’s declare that the U.S bombing of Iranian nuclear websites obliterated the nation’s nuke program.

He referred to as Griffin “the worst” in distorting Trump’s phrases after she requested about issues that extremely enriched uranium was transported away by vehicles earlier than the strikes.

“I don’t think that Secretary Hegseth was good at communicating there,” Claman mentioned in a rebuttal to visitor Rich Lowry’s supportive tackle Hegseth. “He had a script; he was ready to go on attack,” she added.

“He just got extremely triggered. … It was like ‘insert reporter’s name here who challenges me.’ And he seemed to have a very sensitive nerve that was somehow touched by reporters who were simply asking questions,” she mentioned.

“Maybe leave these types of news conferences to the generals who are calm, collected and almost professorial in explaining things to the press,” she continued.

“He really kind of got triggered there,” she added. “I think it didn’t help. It made it look like he wasn’t ready to answer a question that was quite obvious.”

Fast-forward to 1:55 for Claman’s remarks:

Fox News veteran Brit Hume beforehand defended Griffin, the information community’s chief nationwide safety correspondent. He referred to as Hegseth’s assault “unfair” and mentioned Griffin’s professionalism was “unmatched.”
