From Fifth Grade Lies to Desperation: Hegseth's Unbelievable Panic Attack

The Trump administration is facing turmoil as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth presents yet another altered narrative surrounding a recent incident. His new account starkly contradicts his previous on-air assertion that he had “watched it live.” Following intense scrutiny over a September 2 boat strike that resulted in severe injuries to survivors, Hegseth claimed he did not actually see them and only learned of a second strike hours later. Critics swiftly highlighted his earlier boast, tearing apart his latest version. Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom seized the moment, humorously posting a cartoon of a jailed cat with the caption, “JUST GO TO JAIL, PETE,” sparking a wave of memes.As congressional inquiries into possible war crimes commence, and with evidence suggesting the targeting of defenseless survivors, Hegseth is increasingly leaning on Admiral Frank Bradley, whom he insists acted correctly. Yet, many fear Bradley is being positioned as a scapegoat amidst the growing controversy surrounding the administration's actions.
