I suppose the New York Times will run daily stories on this until he resigns, unless Secretary of Defense is a less newsworthy job than a college administrator?

“A review of Hegseth’s thesis by The Daily Princetonian, in consultation with three experts on plagiarism, found eight instances of uncredited material, sham paraphrasing, and verbatim copying.”

Dont be ridiculous cousin Larry!

sdkstl.bsky.social•2 days ago

Worth noting he controls all the military academies and is micromanaging curriculum, libraries, clubs, etc.

One can hope.

cawriter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hegseth has done a lot more damage as Defense Secretary than anything he did by plagiarizing.

truxmintinbox.bsky.social•2 days ago

But Claudine Gay didn’t put quotes around a weather forecast she got from NOAA that one time so she should be fired.

mtsw.bsky.social•2 days ago

Or maybe they never actually cared about minor incidences of plagiarism and were just trying to get someone they didn't like fired for unrelated reasons?

waveofhopepatrol.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hegseth take plagiar

bnceo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Almost like how the NY Times through a hissy fit when Biden didn't give them an interview. Yeah, they really showed him alright.

carnivorecrunch.bsky.social•2 days ago

Chris Rufo can go fuck himself.

striderhlc.bsky.social•2 days ago

There’s something that’s not qwhite the same between Gay and Hesgdeth, but I can’t quite put my finger on it…

socrates80.bsky.social•2 days ago

Spot on. Plus their respective genders

lynneverlasting.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hhmmm, maybe.

That one. It's that one.

He has no shame. He won't resign. He'll go put on his makeup and drink some whiskey and the go lose another plane.

cedichou.bsky.social•2 days ago

Does Bill Ackmann supports the guy? If not, then the NYT will run the stories

leonceg.bsky.social•2 days ago

He’s white so they won’t

davisrob.bsky.social•2 days ago

That’s why he’s a third rate weekend TV personality. His credibility runs as deep as his makeup.

alineboucher.bsky.social•2 days ago

If "half the examples constitute a form of serious plagiarism," how could they conclude that there wasn't a "deep example of plagiarism?"

blacksheepbrenda.bsky.social•2 days ago

He’s even a failure at cheating.

lrwit.bsky.social•2 days ago

He is part of a great team of liars, led by the trump, who paid another to take his SATs, cheated those who he contracted for work, hired undocumented workers and inflated or diminished real estate values.

lessye.bsky.social•2 days ago

If Signal Gate didn't take him down, there is no way that plagiarism on his senior thesis will.

skohayes.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well, we had another jet fall off another aircraft carrier, so there's something they can report on. 😆

jsain.bsky.social•2 days ago

And you're shocked why?

fiftyburger.bsky.social•2 days ago

hey now he’s exclusively focused on WARFIGHTING not like curating which books are allowed in college libraries

iamkanyetwitty.bsky.social•2 days ago

How the heck did this dim bulb get into Princeton?

rbn985.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank you! Since my daughter who was in the top 10% of her high school graduating class and in the top 15% of her college graduating class was turned down twice by Princeton I have to wonder who actually gets in and what is the criteria if this idiot got in and graduated.

iamkanyetwitty.bsky.social•2 days ago

Says something unflattering about Princeton

rbn985.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes it really does.

moipolloi.bsky.social•2 days ago

You know how pickpockets will create a distraction while they rob you? This is like that. This IV drip of news is distracting us from the real story which is that Trump is robbing the country blind while driving it off a cliff.

you know they won't ever mention it don't you?

yerrmom.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why is Hegseth fashioned like a super hero in this picture?

truxmintinbox.bsky.social•2 days ago

They do this with every Republican. Meanwhile every pic of Biden caught him in the middle of talking with his mouth half open in bad lighting.

arch-villein.bsky.social•2 days ago

is anyone the least bit surprised?

shakes1.bsky.social•2 days ago

Secretary Lloyd Austin graduated from West Point.

grumpycarpenter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nearly the least objectionable thing about the guy tbh.

marytorgersen.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ouch!

aminosbilly.bsky.social•2 days ago

Your point, obviously, is the point. But frankly, I'm shocked Hegseth can read.

cstarangel.bsky.social•2 days ago

He only has an undergrad degree?

blimple.bsky.social•2 days ago

he’s a white Republican so they can’t that’s just the rule

fourstarr.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s delicious how in his fervor to expose meritless frauds he systematically reveals himself to be the very thing he’s looking for.

BTW, it was nice to see that the Princeton students who worked so hard on the article clearly deserve to be at Princeton. It’s thorough and excellent work.

italia1110.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump didn’t write Art of the Deal.

mikusa.bsky.social•2 days ago

Obituaries are often written by fiduciary estate executors or surviving family. Spellcheck is mostly what is required.

draperhelekunihi.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’d be more shocked if hegseth was even capable of putting together his own coherent thesis on any matter. I’ve realized that an unqualified idiot nominated to run a department will surround himself with other unqualified idiots that also have no idea what they are doing.

marshcreekdems.bsky.social•2 days ago

Red line it like McMahon’s letter!!!

princetonyimby.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wow this is being reported in 'The Daily Princetonian', i.e. the undergraduate newspaper! Kudos to whoever there did that!

jaroszenlo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Is anyone shocked by this?!

terencecanada.bsky.social•2 days ago

They haven't mentioned yet the Qatar jet gift to Trump. Probably won't, either.

theignoble.bsky.social•2 days ago

LOL. Why am I not surprised. He looks like that jock in High School who needs his cheerleader girlfriend to write an essay for him.

debbienorthway.bsky.social•2 days ago

Everyone plagiarised in those days

bigworker.bsky.social•2 days ago

There's this theory I've heard around here that the Times actually likes Trump and is slanting their coverage to benefit him. Is that crazy or do you think it could be true?
