The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.
This comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth continues to find himself mired in controversy. NPR has also confirmed with the same official that Hegseth shared details ahead of last month’s Yemen strikes with his wife and brother in a Signal chat on his personal phone, minutes after being updated by a senior U.S. military official. The news of the second Signal group chat about the mission was first reported by The New York Times.
In March, Hegseth shared details about action against Houthi targets in Yemen in a Signal chat with top White House officials that accidentally included a journalist.
If only there had been signs that he was dangerously under qualified.
On the upside … any of us are qualified for the job and have a higher chance now of achieving that position than at any time in the past … and I’m not even American!
The fact that you aren’t American is probably a plus. Are you Russian by chance? That would probably put you at the top of the list.
Was just gonna say if yer Russian, yer a shoe-in!
And he got confirmed. Fucking twats.
NPR exclusive. Chef’s kiss
There is a wonderful schadenfreude to NPR breaking this! We should all go donate money in Pete’s name!
3 months in. That’s like 9 mooches.
We’re really starting to develop a system to measure time here. 9 Mooches to a Hegseth
anything but metric
/s
It’s too rational
My only concern is will they find somebody worse?
How much lower can you go than an unqualified drunken Fox News host? What baffles me is this man was approved by Congress. Anyone who OK’ed this turd is also unqualified!
Never assume Trump can’t go lower.
I hear Zapp Brannagin is available
Let’s see how much worse they can do.
What do you think? Defense Secretary Kevin Sorbo?
Joe Rogen
Defense Secretary Ritchie. As in SecDef Kid Rock
Kanye’s phone is probably ringing right now
Greene
Aldrich Ames
Kid Rock. He’s cowboy, baby.
So will this guy just end up back on Fox News?
“Powerful start”
I’ll do it.
Mind you, I don’t have a severe drinking problem or white supremacist tattoos. I think that I could still do an okayish job.
Hahaha fuck outta here you drunk fuck you
There is no need for a defence secretary, trim the fat. - DOGE
Fuck off, Elon
It is Felon not Elon. Stop hurting my feeling, if not I will cry and whine on Xitter to try and send you on a guilt trip.
You can be an incompetent drunk so long as you don’t screw things up for your puppet master, israel.
Only person that could be worse, Ted Nugent?
Lmao why. He fits right in
