Democrat mega-donor Lindy Li, who has served on the DNC National Finance Committee, recently appeared on News Nation to discuss President Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth has been under constant attack by the liberal media, using a variety of anonymous accusers to smear Pete’s name and his character.
On Friday, President Trump affirmed his unwavering support of Hegseth.
Seemingly surprising the News Nation host, Li shared her positive take on Pete over the weekend.
“Thank you so much for having me, ” Li shared. “Well, actually, I think maybe you’re looking for someone to oppose his nomination, but I actually have personal interactions. Because I’ve been on Fox & Friends, I’ve met Pete, and he’s my fellow Princetonian.”
“I actually think he’s a pretty good guy.”
“I know, but fair is fair, right? I’m here. I’m not here to gaslight anybody.”
“I’m just here to present the facts as I know it. I know I will say a lot of people are saying his nomination is in trouble. We’ll see, he’s definitely a fighter.”
“As he told Megyn Kelly, he said Trump asked him to be ‘tough as blank,’ and he’s certainly that way.”
“And we’ll just see if Joni Ernst can come around because I feel like she’s the linchpin on this.”
