Pete Hegseth’s Hammer Incident
A Fox & Friends co-host threw an ax during a live broadcast only to strike a West Point drummer.
Pete was taking the video of Flag Day to commemorate the Army’s 240th birthday but the anchor “went rogue” and was supposed to throw the blade at a nearby bulls-eye.
But the ax, instead of hitting the mark, somersaulted over the target. One of the three drummers with West Point’s Hellcats marching band got frightened and he jumped a witness’s cell phone captured this moment. The TV network, however, did not air this incident.
Jim Prosperie, one of the drummers said that ‘he’s lucky to be alive and with all four limbs,’
“My leadership told me they were told there would be no axe throwing. I think the anchor person went rogue and decided to throw it,”
Pete hilariously introduces himself,
“Hi, my name is Pete Hegseth and I was almost Never-Trumper. That’s right. My name is Pete Hegseth and I was almost a Never-Trumper.”
He shared on Facebook mentioning,
“Poor decision, obvious negligence, should not have happened, could have been avoided.”
Adding,
“When shooting or throwing, always know what is behind your target. Basic safety rule. I’m feeling blessed on Father’s day with my 5 children, alive, and with all limbs,”
he continued.
While the incident appeared painful and quite jarring, Prosperie apparently soldiered on with the rest of his band. In a later segment, obtained by Mediate, he’s seen cheerfully speaking on camera as if the accident never took place.
On Facebook, however, he writes that he’s active,
“focusing on full physical and emotional recovery.”
