'Proud': Fox News host spins Pete Hegseth accidentally texting war plans to reporter

Fox News host Will Cain, a former colleague of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's "Fox & Friends" days, praised Trump administration officials after a journalist from The Atlantic accidentally received secret war plans against Yemen.

"If it was accidental, and we'll wait to see if this was accidental, it is incredibly concerning that this information would be shared over the Signal app with the journalist included," Cain acknowledged on his Monday show. "But the bigger takeaway for me is it's an insight, a transparent insight into the thought process and dialogue of our national leaders."

The host encouraged viewers to "look at the actual content" of the messages instead of focusing on ineptitude.

"What you will see is dialogue between Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Stephen Miller, Tulsi Gabbard, and many more in a very collaborative, open, honest, team-based attempt to come to the right decision after years of secrecy and incompetence," Cain opined.

"If you read the content of these messages, I think you'll come away proud that these are the leaders making these decisions in America."
