Hegseth's a lot like Trump. He now resides in the "A TIRESOME PAIN IN THE ASS EVERY TIME HE OPENS HIS MOUTH" realm.

Hegseth has responded to concerns about meager food supplies for sailors with a bizarre reference to a biblical Jewish group.

“More FAKE NEWS from the Pharisee Press,” Hegseth posted on X, comparing the media to an influential Jewish religious and social movement often portrayed in the New Testament as opposing Jesus.

It was the second time the defense secretary invoked the Pharisees this week to rail against critical media coverage. During a Thursday briefing, he compared the “Trump-hating press” to the Pharisees, positioning Trump as Jesus and bashing the media for daring to question him.

“My team confirmed the logistics stats for the Lincoln & Tripoli,” Hegseth wrote, adding, “Both have 30+ days of Class I supplies (food) on board. NavCent monitors this everyday, for every ship.”
