Wait! It gets worser! Pete Hegseth's Signal scandal now has a fantasy football twist

https://newrepublic.com/post/194447/pete-hegseth-signal-phone-number

You didn't think the Pete Hegseth Signal scandal that continues to grow would have a sports twist, did you?

But, per a report, it does.

Days after a new report revealed the Defense Secretary had a second Signal chat that included his wife and his brother, there's this from the New York Times: his personal phone number was found elsewhere online, tied to a username "PeteHegseth" on fantasy sports and betting site Sleeper.


That's real stealth there.
