Paul Begala Gets TORCHED By Scott Jennings After Asserting Pete Hegseth Spent Millions on Lobster and Steak “All for Himself”- Then X Users Bring Receipts Showing Where the Money Really Went (VIDEOS)
Former Clinton hack Paul “The Forehead” Begala made a huge mistake in deciding to run his mouth about a ridiculous hit piece on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which blew up in his face when Scott Jennings challenged him, and the Internet brought receipts.
As TGP readers may know, leftist outlets published a gotcha piece alleging the Pentagon ‘wasted’ $22 million on lobsters and ribeye steak during a September 2025 end-of-year spending spree. The narrative pushed by the corporate media is that Hegseth and Department of War employees were dining on the products themselves.
Begala made this exact assertion on Wednesday’s episode of The Source With Kaitlan Collins while specifically pointing the finger at Hegseth. This promptly invited ridicule from Jennings.
After he said that the lobster and steak were for our soldiers, Begala scoffed and doubled down on his ignorance.
Then, Jennings turned to the cameras and said, “Internet, do something!” And users certainly delivered.
WATCH:
NEW: CNN’s Paul Begala seems to think Pete Hegseth ate $6.9 million of lobster tail all by himself in the month of September.
Begala: He has spent $15 million in one month for ribeye steak, $6.9 million for lobster tail… all for himself.

BEGALA: He has spent $15 million in one month for ribeye steaks, $6.9 million for lobster tails, $225 million for furniture.
He has spent more money in September than most countries on Earth spend on their entire defense! All for himself!
JENNINGS: Do you believe the Secretary of Defense is eating all the lobster? It’s for the troops!
BEGALA: Oh, really? The troops are getting lobster? Oh my God!
JENNINGS: It’s for troops who are going to war. You know that!
BEGALA: You are so full of it!
JENNINGS: Internet, do something!
And it did. Here are several videos that have gone viral showing troops dining on steak, lobster, and other delicious food after Begala tried to act like the ‘smartest’ guy in the room.
Leftists didn’t blink when Democrats blew billions on illegal immigrants.
But when Hegseth feeds troops steak and lobster, suddenly it’s treated like a crime.

Leftists losing their minds over Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon dropping millions on steak, lobster, and fruit baskets for troops.
Meanwhile, Biden blew billions housing illegals in 4-star hotels and feeding them on our dime.
