Comedian Bill Maher recently defeated Defense Secretary Pete Hegses, calling him “the worst thing to hit a pentagon” since the September 11th terrorist attack.
Maher delivered a hit against Hegstes in the “New Rules” segment on an episode of the HBO show on Friday night.
“New rules: Pete Hegustes’ parents have to take the phone away and we can get it back when he shows us that he’s showing enough growth to use us responsibly,” Maher said.
“I’m not saying Pete will make a terrible Secretary of Defense, but he’s the worst thing he’s going to hit the Pentagon since Flight 77,” he added.
Bill Maher’s joke referenced the time that mistakenly included national security adviser Mike Waltz Atlantic Ocean Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg in a group signal chat where Hegzes and other members of the Trump administration discussed sensitive details about the US military strike in Yemen. A few weeks later, another report alleged that Hegseth had created a signalling messaging chat that included his wife and brothers, granting access to sensitive military debates.
The Trump White House has expressed support for Heggs through both reports, according to the Associated Press.
The White House expressed its support on Monday Defense Secretary Pete Hegses Following media reports that he shared sensitive military details. Another Signal Messaging ChatThis time with his wife and brother.
Neither the White House nor Hegustes denied that he shared such information in his second chat, instead focusing their responses on what they called disgruntled workers. He was accused of leaking to the media And it claims Classified Information It was disclosed.
“It’s just fake news. They just cultivate stories,” President Donald Trump told reporters. “I think it sounds like a disgruntled employee. He was put there to drive away a lot of bad people, and that’s what he’s doing.
Speaking to Fox News, Pete Hegseth said the report was the result of an enemy trying to undermine President Trump’s agenda.
“Because I’m here, President Trump asked the Pentagon to bring warfights back every day. That’s our focus. And if people don’t like it, they can come behind me. No worries. I’m standing here. Our enemies are behind us.
