Typical communist tactic. First demote the guy than assassinate his character. How TrumpIan of Hegseth.

A criminal referral? Hegseth literally showed top secret war plans to an Atlantic Reporter.

I bet the firings of pentagon high ups are due to those individuals not subscribing to Hegseth’s Christian Nationalism agenda. There is something very dark about all this.

Hegseth needs to go before all we have left are a cult of onward Christian nationalist military who think we need a crusade.

I think of when they summoned hundreds of flag and general officers from around the world to Quantico last year to listen to Hegseth strutting and crowing like a rooster, followed by Trumps incoherent babbling about designing battleships. They seemed stunned at the insanity.

🚨 BREAKING OVERNIGHT: SecWar Pete Hegseth has FIRED Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia after he reportedly FAILED three polygraphs about leaking classified information to the press GOOD RIDDANCE TO ALL LEAKERS! 👋🏻 He's now under investigation over LEAKS about the Iran war, the Russia-Ukraine war and more, and the case has been referred to the DOJ Sylvia purportedly got around the Pentagon's escort rules for reporters by meeting journalists outside the building Hegseth made the right move for our country!
