Jimmy Fallon Eviscerates Pete Hegseth Out Of Nowhere With Brutal One-Liner
HuffPost
The "Tonight Show" host reminded the audience that he was just being "topical."
Jimmy Fallon used Wednesday’s National Christmas Tree lighting to zap a certain embattled Cabinet member.
“Try to see the tree if you can, ’cause in a month it’ll be tossed to the curb along with Pete Hegseth,” the “Tonight Show” host cracked.
Realizing that his zinger caused a stir in the audience, Fallon said, “Just being topical, guys, just being topical.”
Hegseth finds himself in hot water over legally murky airstrikes on suspected drug smugglers at sea. A follow-up attack on survivors of one such attack is now generating accusations of a possible war crime. Hegseth said an admiral ordered the second launch.
The former Fox News host was also found to have potentially endangered military personnel by discussing an imminent attack in Yemen on the Signal app, according to a report from the Pentagon’s acting inspector general.
