The Wall Street Journal reported on the defense secretary’s hissy fit amid growing chaos.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly teed off on a high-ranking official he suspected of a leak, lewdly threatening him with a lie detector test.
The Wall Street Journal on Thursday divulged the alleged details of the embattled Hegseth’s tantrum. When word got out Hegseth was setting up a classified briefing for Elon Musk on China last month, Donald Trump got angry amid Pentagon concerns over the DOGE leader’s business connections to China, the Journal wrote.
That’s when Hegseth lost it.
“I’ll hook you up to a fucking polygraph!” Hegseth blared at Navy Admiral Christopher Grady, two people familiar with the exchange told WSJ.
The thing I hate most about conservatives is their obsession with pseudo science.
Hey asshole! If a polygraph actually worked everyone would be hooked up to one during court hearings or major business deals. Byt they’d rather believe there is this magic technology that we don’t use because it wouldn’t be fair or some other imagined bullshit.
A red flag of undereducated people in authority over anything is if they think polygraphs indicate anything about whether someone is lying. It’s entirely fraudulent pseudo-science.
