Business Insider noted that Prosperie had a follow-up response on Facebook and revealed that he was told there would be no ax throwing. He believes Hegseth went "rogue."

“My leadership told me they were told there would be no ax throwing; I think the anchor person went rogue and decided to throw it,” Prosperie said. “[Hegseth had] only thrown it once before in practice for an upcoming segment and they told him to throw it with more force.”

“When shooting or throwing, always know what is behind your target,” Prosperie continued. “Basic safety rule.”
