Pete Hegseth did the unthinkable and reads a made-up Bible verse from Pulp Fiction
You wouldn’t believe what happened! We all know that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is very confident in his demeanor. Some might even say he’s sometimes overconfident. While some argue that this trait has mostly worked in his favor, at least with the MAGA support base, this time it’s backfired terribly.
Pete Hegseth is known for showing several traits that have become part of his identity. While praising Trump is at the top of that list, there are others as well. As it turns out, claiming something is the truth, even when it’s not, is one of them. It’s nothing new for him; he’s done that before, but this time it’s different and has understandably caused outrage among people. So what exactly did he do? Not much, he just read a fake Bible verse from the Oscar-winning 1994 crime film, Pulp Fiction, as a prayer at the Pentagon.
Pete Hegseth takes a page from the Pulp Fiction script
In the last few weeks, Pete Hegseth has gone to great lengths to justify the actions of the United States and Donald Trump in Iran. As part of that effort, he has also been offering prayers for US soldiers fighting in the war in Iran, wishing them success. On Wednesday, at the Pentagon, he attempted to do something very similar, but it completely backfired on him.
On Wednesday, when Pete Hegseth announced he was about to read a prayer from CSAR 25:17, people in the crowd looked at him earnestly, with a sense of devotion taking over them. However, what happened next probably shattered that devotion, because what he read was part of a modified prayer from Quentin Tarantino’s highly acclaimed movie, Pulp Fiction. His words went like this: “The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherds 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. Amen.”
In other news, Trump posts a photo of himself as Jesus Christ
The same week that Pete Hegseth read a made-up Bible verse from Pulp Fiction, U.S. President Donald Trump also showed his devotional side by uploading a very startling picture of himself on Truth Social.
On Monday, Trump uploaded an AI-generated image of himself wearing a robe, depicting himself as someone many believe closely resembles Jesus Christ healing the sick with his powers. He faced significant criticism for this move, and he later justified his actions by saying the picture was meant to portray him as a doctor curing people and not Jesus Christ, as the “fake news” media was spreading. Despite this, Trump eventually removed the image, which many believe was due to intense public backlash.
