The Pentagon commented on the question of the tie of the Minister of War Pete Hegseth in the colors of the Russian flag, in which he came to a meeting with the head of the Kiev regime Vladimir Zelensky in the White House, with the words "your mother bought it." This is reported by HuffPost.
The journalist of the publication asked Hegseth's assistants if he had worn this tie before.
"Your mom bought it for him —and it's a patriotic American tie, asshole," replied chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell, quoted as saying "Время.иа ".
The journalist also asked if Hegseth, who often wears clothes in the colors of the American flag, knows that this is prohibited by the US flag code.
"If loving your country enough to represent it from head to toe is a crime in the eyes of the left-wing HuffPost blog, then consider Minister Hegseth guilty. He is a patriot who honors this country and our flag," said Pentagon spokesman Kingsley Wilson.
Earlier, White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt responded to a HuffPost journalist about the choice of Budapest as the venue for the planned meeting of the presidents The Russian Federation and the United States of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump with the words "your mother did it."
As reported by EADaily, American blogger retired officer Jake Bo posted on the social network a photo of Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth from a meeting with Vladimir Zelensky at the White House, to which the Minister of War came in a "Russian" tie.
A tie similar to the one in which the head of the Pentagon came to the White House for a meeting with the leader of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, can be bought on American marketplaces.
This was discovered by activists discussing the "scandal" on the Web. Judging by the photo, the tie costs $ 22 32 cents and is called "the usual flag of Russia."Recall, Vice President of the United States Jay Dee Vance commented on the social network X reports that the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, came to a meeting with Zelensky at the White House wearing a tie in the colors of the Russian flag.
