This isn't steps away from the Hudson River, at least where he could gain entry to the river. One wouldn't walk to this memorial in a bathing suit. Ridiculous.

annabel-lee.bsky.social•48 days ago

Was he swimming in the fountains?

babushka604.bsky.social•48 days ago

Agree. This is the nonsense that drives me crazy.

couponforpoupon.bsky.social•48 days ago

Especially when there is so much more meaningful, and lower hanging fruit.

The dude's kids dropped him in a dunk tank full of champagne, which he then proceeded to swill with his own hands, so his kids did the same until someone shooed them away.

Also, he's a drunk rapist christian nationalist.

crabby-phatty.bsky.social•48 days ago

Seriously? He's practically nude. And his long disturbing rap sheet includes a history of alcoholism and sexual assault. This might as well be the photo used to summarize why he's a problem.

dangerjane.bsky.social•48 days ago

You're making excuses. My dad and husband are veterans and this is absolutely disgraceful. If it were a scantily woman you'd be apeshit

mrsbettybowers.bsky.social•48 days ago

Yes, wearing a bathing suit to honor the dead is so much more respectful.

And since when do bathing suits have the company's name across an elastic waistband?

stephenmclifton.bsky.social•48 days ago

Oh, Betty, I see and agree.

snrtmahtnt.bsky.social•48 days ago

The swim ends there. He pretty much would have gotten out of the water and gone straight there. There's far better reasons to hate on him than this.

As for bathing suit logo placement... Beats me? Never really paid attention.

snrtmahtnt.bsky.social•48 days ago

Well, I mean, not that these are those (nor did I see any logos on the waistband in the Pic) but... Yes some brands do.

I blocked the guy that responded to you in such a rude manner. We don’t have to put up with any of that here on Bluesky. Not now, not ever!

wisegirl2.bsky.social•48 days ago

Some people are so stupid! That’s why they get BLOCKED! Their mothers must have dropped them on their heads. For real!

scottmusicpiano.bsky.social•48 days ago

I generally agree with everything you post Betty, and I’ve got plenty of reasons to dislike Hegseth. He should never be Sec of Defense.

But, this was a fund raiser organized by Navy Seals. Maybe one of the rare good things he did.

Whatever he's wearing he's no Arnold Palmer

onegreystray.bsky.social•48 days ago

Although I wouldn’t want to deliberately spread misinformation, I can understand the confusion. I thought he was wearing boxer briefs and wondered why he would be dressed like that at the 9/11 memorial.

ladywho.bsky.social•48 days ago

Oh come on Eric, doubtful he needed to wear his skimpy suit to place a flag or anything else other than the swim event. Most men and women will remove their outer clothes just before enter the water and cover when they get out. It was an event.

teresalpn.bsky.social•48 days ago

Was he swimming?👀🤔

palopintopath.bsky.social•48 days ago

Thank you for your courage to post this❗️

karenkeiser.bsky.social•48 days ago

Well he does have a nice body, but he’s bound to fail at DOD.

mtmimi64.bsky.social•48 days ago

He still could have covered up because it does look like he's wearing underwear, and it looks tacky and disrespectful, especially if he was there honoring those who died.

crabby-phatty.bsky.social•48 days ago

It looks like he is drunk or drugged, and has zero consciousness of the impact of his behavior on other people. It reinforces the image of him having a substance abuse problem and a lack of seriousness about serving the American public.

mtmimi64.bsky.social•48 days ago

Totally agree!

gotzook.bsky.social•48 days ago

I was going to say they look like military shorts. My brother in law has a pair just like those that we greatly wish he would stop wearing. He's a Marine vet, served 6 years, did a tour in Afghanistan.

palopintopath.bsky.social•48 days ago

Thank him for his service to our Great Nation❗️

angrygrrrl1111.bsky.social•48 days ago

He's wearing a skimpy bathing suit at a mass grave site. Did you think it was just a memorial? Because it's not. Most bodies were never recovered b/c they were turned to ash. This is, literally, the final resting place for 3000 people. And he's there, posing for Insta in a bikini.

v-m-i.bsky.social•48 days ago

Appreciate the facts, and agree that ya cover up after swimming/leaving the beach/pool/river/whatever. It was disrespectful of Pete to use the 9/11 Memorial as the backdrop for his humblebrag. if only my opinion on the topic mattered-

crabby-phatty.bsky.social•48 days ago

Are you joking? Those shorts are so tight that it's inappropriate to wear that to any kind of public event as a representative of the government. While people can wear whatever they feel like wearing, this particular photo depicts a person with no self-awareness or respect for others.

justicelovr.bsky.social•48 days ago

He could have at least put on a shirt. He wanted to show off those obnoxious tattoos 🤮

ladyomygod.bsky.social•48 days ago

Excellent. I was just researching the same. I recognized the photo.

rarebeautyvintage.bsky.social•48 days ago

That doesn’t matter. You still go change your clothes. I’m sure he didn’t go on the subway looking like that.
