Pete Hegseth zitiert während einer Predigt im Pentagon einen gefälschten Pulp-Fiction-Bibelvers

Hegseth is the type of guy to unironically send you the Navy SEAL copypasta

(From the article): „“The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men,“ Hegseth prayed.

„Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. 

„And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen.“

The first few lines of the prayer were written by Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary in the film Pulp Fiction.

In the movie, the character played by Samuel L Jackson falsely claims they are from the Bible passage Ezekiel 25:17.

The second part of the verse is taken from the Bible, in a condemnation of the Philistines and the Cherethims, foes of the Israelites in the 5th Century BC.

In the movie, Jackson’s character utters the verse before gunning down a small-time criminal who owed his gangster boss money.

But Hegseth’s prayer changed „the LORD“ in the Bible so it was instead about the unit involved in the rescue.

Hegseth has been holding regular church services in the Pentagon in recent months.

His comments overnight came as House Democrats filed articles of impeachment against him.“

fake christian after fake christian it never ends with these assholes

Jimmy Swaggert raging lunatic.

I’ve been around a lot of religious nuts academicly, socially, and professionally. If there’s one thing they love its to quote fake Bible verses and wall art sayings with zero awareness that they aren’t from the Bible.  They’re always so sure they’re really in there though

What a dweeb.

It’s not widely known, but there’s based-on-a-true-story scene in Pulp Fiction from Hegseth’s own childhood, when his dad’s best friend came to visit:

*“This watch I got here was first purchased by your great-grandfather during the First World War… This was your great-grandfather’s war watch and he wore it every day he was in that war…*
*This watch was on your daddy’s wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi… Five long years he wore this watch up his ass. Then, he died of dysentery. He gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass two years… and now, little man, I give the watch to you.“*

Shove it up your ass Pete….

Between ol Whiskey Pete and Kashapp Patel, I can’t tell who the bigger cosplay dweeb is.

And none of his fake Christian cohorts knew the difference. Because the loud, proud, evangelical christian set he runs with are… not… Christian and do not read.

What a dork.

Hahaha what a tool!

Great scene, btw.

nothing says serious leadership like delivering a pentagon sermon with a bible verse written by quentin fucking tarantino

What a fucking tool this guy is. I think I hate this moron the most out of the entire Donnie cabinet 

Hegseth is deranged, so is Kennedy, unfortunately they’re both in positions where they can do huge amounts of harm.

amazing we need to find out about this from an Australian source because America no longer has a free press.

Makes total sense he would quote that. He tries to act like his quest is biblical but he obviously has no idea what it says in the bible

Remember when spelling „potato“ wrong virtually ended the political career of a Vice President?

„I been sayin‘ that shit for years“…
„I never gave much thought to what it meant.“…
„The truth is you’re the weak. And I’m the tyranny of evil men.“
