MAGA TV host rips Pete Hegseth's 'fly boys' in searing rant: 'What an amateur move'

A MAGA TV host ripped Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday for refusing to punish the "fly boys" who flew an Apache helicopter near musician Kid Rock's home in Nashville, Tennessee, over the weekend.

Videos surfaced on social media of an Apache helicopter buzzing Kid Rock's home, a move that the U.S. Army condemned. The pilots who flew the helicopter were suspended on Monday pending an investigation. Hegseth announced on Tuesday that the suspension was lifted and the investigation was halted.

Greg Kelly, a host on Newsmax, responded to Hegseth's decision in a searing social media post.

"So what if those 'fly boys' flew by Madonna’s house and Took a Bow? Or Robert DeNiro. That would Not be cool, right?" Kelly wrote. "But it’s just fine for Kid Rockhead? What an amateur move, posting it on Social Media."

Kelly also took a shot at Hegseth's leadership, citing his past as the leader of a veterans nonprofit, from which he was forced to resign after creating a hostile work environment for women.

"Meanwhile, HEGSETH runs the Pentagon like he ran his phony 'non-profits' —RECKLESSLY," Kelly wrote. "He has No business Micro-Managing Army Units. They MUST Discipline Hot Dog Pilots performing Unauthorized Stunts. Because Next Time something could go Very Very Bad."
