U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has been mired in controversy since Donald Trump first nominated him, is now “unlikely to remain in his role,” according to his own former department spokesperson on Sunday.
The report includes “remarkable accusations” from a former Hegseth aide and comes the same day as it was reported that the Secretary was involved in a second unsecured Signal chat in which sensitive attack plans were shared. Hegseth was mocked for the reported security misstep.
In a piece entitled, “Former Pentagon official warns department’s dysfunction could topple Hegseth,” Politico quotes John Ullyot, the former top Defense Department spokesperson, as saying, “The last month has been a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon.”
First they came for the DEI hires, but I said nothing because I was not a DEI hire.
Then they came for the DUI hires and I said nothing because I was too busy looking for the bottle of Johnny Walker in my desk.
WHY? Just because he told MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITHOUT SECURITY CLEARANCES about an Act Of War over an Unvetted App? That’s WOKE!
I mean haven’t we all given nuclear launch codes to complete strangers who also happen to be Russian agents? Come on! Lighten up!
Every morning after a holiday is a meltdown for him, due to the hangover.
Don’t you mean every morning ever?
Is this the least qualified cabinet in the history of the US? Maybe they should have gone with more DEI hires.
I wonder which bootlicker will replace them. At some point in time, the pool of incompetent asskissers will be exhausted - what will Trump do then?
Again, this is a clear example of why you don’t put a completely unqualified alcoholic in charge of TS information.
Is he past the 1 Scaramuchi mark yet?
You gotta be REAL stupid (or moral) to get booted from a Trump administration.
And I’d bet my bottom dollar this chode isn’t getting booted for having a moral compass.
What do you mean? Trump’s cabinet had insane turnover last time, he loves using people then throwing them away
If only…
Good! Let’s get someone serious in there. I get middle-school vibes from this guy.
lol you’re going to get another circus clown
Sadly, you may be right. I don’t see the humour though.
We’re kicking people out of the administration of the military in the most over-militarized country in the world due to incompetence now? Sounds like a nice change.
