Far-right pastor Lance Wallnau is incredibly upset over the burgeoning controversies regarding Donald Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth. No, he's not angry about reports that Hegseth paid off a woman who accused him of rape, or about the repeated adulteries and other marital cruelties detailed in a 2018 letter his mother wrote to him. Nor is Wallnau concerned with the growing pile of stories suggesting Hegseth has a severe drinking problem. Wallnau's just mad that an email detailing some of these issues exists.

"Mom, don't write a letter like that to your son!" he whined straight into the camera. "Don't write it and send it in an email someone could intercept and put in the New York Times."

She has sought to deny it so she can tell her friends that, "Peter is the Secretary of Defense."

A mother will do anything for her children.
