Pete Hegseth called his mom to come do some damage control.

The article from The New Republic discusses a segment on Fox News where Pete Hegseth, a co-host on "Fox & Friends," defended former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents by suggesting that Trump's mother would be proud of him.

This defense was met with criticism for its perceived absurdity and for ignoring the legal implications of Trump's actions.
