When Democrats can’t win a debate, they don’t sharpen their arguments – they sharpen their pencils and leak your personal information. It’s called doxxing: the act of publicly revealing or publishing someone’s private or identifying information – like their home address, phone number, workplace, or personal emails – without their consent. It’s a political tactic Democrats use to intimidate opponents into backing down and abandoning actions they oppose.
This week, The Washington Post (WaPo) decided that revealing personal details about the security of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was in the public interest and possibly Pulitzer-worthy journalism.
The Left has made Hegseth a target with their relentless anti-Trump administration pursuits – and now they are complaining that he needs so much security. The WaPo headline read “Hegseth’s expansive security requirements tax Army protective unit” citing (of course) unnamed “officials” who say Hegseth is straining the system because of his large security requirements.
Hm… funny how WaPo and their other friends in the media don’t explain the truth about why Hegseth needs that kind of heavy security – like so many in the Trump Administration. The reason is simple: Democrats. Elected officials, unelected bureaucrats, activists, the media, and their voters have spent years painting Trump and his team as existential threats to democracy. That relentless narrative is exactly why Trump has already survived two assassination attempts. And it’s why folks in the Trump Administration need to be protected at a high level.
Naturally, the Left is defending the WaPo stunt as “transparency.” Translation: If you’re part of a Republican administration, your safety is fair game. If this had been a Democrat cabinet member? We’d already have a tearful press conference about “journalistic ethics” and the “rise of threats against public servants.”
Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson wasn’t having it, blasting WaPo for “putting lives at risk” and threatening to pull their Pentagon access. Wilson said to Fox News Digital, “We attempted to get the Washington Post to remove sensitive details about the security of Secretary Hegseth’s wife, children, and extended family, citing obvious security concerns and the potential for threats to increase after its publication. There is no justification for the Washington Post to publish this information about them.”
What WaPo did isn’t journalism. It is another political hit disguised as reporting, part of a long-running Democrat strategy: demonize your opponent, leak sensitive info, and shrug when violence happens.
WaPo’s doxxing of Secretary Hegseth isn’t about accountability or “transparency”; it’s about intimidation. This is what passes for journalism in 2025 – weaponizing personal information to score political points, while pretending it’s all in the public’s best interest. If this stunt leads to real-world danger, WaPo and its cheerleaders on the Left will feign shock, issue hollow condemnations of violence, and continue to carry on targeting anyone who dares to stand with President Trump.
