From the December 4, 2024, edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends

STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST):  You say it's important people know the truth, is there some part of that story depicted in the media that is not true?

PENELOPE HEGSETH (MOTHER OF PETE HEGSETH): Of course.

STEVE DOOCY: Which part?

PENELOPE HEGSETH: You know, I don't want to use the words, he doesn't misuse women. No. I mean, you know, he has been through some difficult things. I'm not going to list them by name, I would just say some of those attachments or descriptions are just not true, especially anymore.
