Because all photos of him are unflattering; he always looks exactly like the arrogant, preening, testosterone-poisoned, small-dicked neo-Nazi poltroon we know him to be.

Wish someone would sneak a camera in his made-to-order Pentagon styling salon for some before pics.

Does the camera lie?

she probably went to Kentucky with Dear Leader.

Let's see if Barron II pops out.............

It's a bit hard to get flattering pics, I would imagine.

What an insecure moron

Link to tweet

To have cartoonists draw funny pictures of him to illustrate the articles. No photos? AI him in a bikini.

No matter how much he slathers on,IMHO.

a mean, nasty smirk on his face. Exception: when he's half in the bag. He looks more like Trump at a Cabinet meeting.

... before he approved his infamous "mug shot".

Trump and his cabinet are all so pretty. Or is it spelled "petty"?

Poor widdoo Petey got his widdoo fee-fees hurt! Grow the fuck up, you witless turd!

a week to make his hair look that greasy?

If you touched his hair (ewwwwww), I'll bet it would feel crunchy rather than greasy.

greasy on the inside.

for vainest man in government.

He has a square face...and blockish head. So there's too much to remind people of Lucy's derogatory comment to Charlie,"You Blockhead",: Brown.
And when you look at him, and know just how much he's like CB, it makes sense to not let the Public connote him with anything that would remind people he is a blockhead,

I have never seen a photo of him that was flattering in any way. He always looks like a prick.

...is managed by such delicate snowflakes?

except maybe process servers?

no control over how stoopid kegsbreath looks ffs.

It's recognizably him. He seems to be fully dressed and awake. Yeah, he sneers, so what? If he had previously shown any degree of competence or humility or, really, any redeeming qualities whatsoever, no one would give a fuck. People would take a look at the pic, maybe say, "he usually looks better than this," and move right on to the next thing. Now it's a front-page story, and the picture is receiving serious scrutiny along with the response; so, nicely played, fuckwits.

You could have simply brought in a few fainting couches for troubled staff members. Wait, lemme guess, were the couches all getting roofied in the big party at the VP's place? So otherwise occupied, then. Pentagon should hire a few dedicated fainting couches to sooth our most delicate warfighters, lord knows they have the money.

Fuck your feefees, Pete.

boss and use more makeup. Then you'll look like a man.

……any photographer who manages to take a photo of Hegseth that could be considered “flattering.”

So the bottom line is no one should ever put Pete's picture in any publication ever again.

Pete is a vain idiot

The Pentagon apparently shut out photographers from attending press briefings on the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war in Iran after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's staff decided recent photos of him were "unflattering," The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

image is everything.

Whether the secretary realizes it or not, it’s not the photographers who are making him look bad.

Whether Hegseth realizes this or not, it’s not photographers who are making him look bad.

He’s managing to do that all on his own.
