A Reading From ‘Pulp Fiction’
April 17, 2026
Posted 2 hours ago by
Just when you thought Hegseth couldn’t get more ridiculous SECDEF/WAR! Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s God Warrior, quoted a garbled Bible quote from Pulp Fiction (1994) in one of his Pentagon “sermons” this week. The New Republic: On Wednesday, the flowery language came from former Fox Weekend co-host/alcoholic, Hegseth, in front of a Pentagon audience.
One assumes Hegseth’s attitude regarding “stupid rules of engagement” now applies to rules for quoting the Holy Bible by which he sets such store. A man of maturity (and cultural literacy) would think better about quoting that “prayer.” He would anticipate how it would make him, his office, his troops, and his boss look to the press and to the world. Hegseth is an idiot. But you knew that.
