John Ullyot, who resigned last week as chief Pentagon spokesperson, predicted that Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth will also be out of a job soon.
Ullyot called it a “strange and baffling purge” that has led to “a near collapse inside the Pentagon’s top ranks.”
And he warned that even more “bombshell” stories about Hegseth and the Defence Department are about to drop.
You can actually see the future take on Hegseth in this op-ed. One third of the article is how great a leader Trump is, and Hegseth could’ve been. One third is stale Biden-bashing talking points, and the last third is how fucked up things are at the Pentagon. In it he says Trump demands results (unlike “some other administrations”), and then lists a number of former secretaries he’s fired for “not meeting his expectations.” Completely overlooking that many of them resigned over some scandal, at least one left because he said Trump was an “fucking idiot,” and the rest were fired for telling him what he didn’t want to hear. This is the history the party has decided on, and Hegseth will become another name on that list.
