Pete Hegseth Quoted Pulp Fiction at the Pentagon and Thought It Was the Bible

from The Rogue Voice Podcast with Linsay Rousseau · host Linsay Rousseau

This week Pete Hegseth read a Pulp Fiction monologue at a Pentagon prayer service and thought it was Ezekiel 25:17. He called it CSAR 25:17, a play on Combat Search and Rescue and Ezekiel 25:17. He was very proud of this. The actual King James Bible verse is two lines about vengeance. Quentin Tarantino invented the rest for a movie about hitmen. Baptist minister and journalist Brian Kaylor caught it. Jonathan Larsen at The Fucking News has been covering Hegseth’s unconstitutional monthly Christian nationalist Pentagon prayer services extensively. Christian nationalists love the Old Testament when God is smiting enemies. Less so when he’s telling them to welcome the stranger. Hegseth went looking for a vengeance verse and came back with Tarantino. If Quentin Tarantino is watching, you may have a copyright claim against the Department of Defense. Meanwhile this same administration is furious at Pope Leo XIV for being too political about the Iran war. Trump called him a radical leftist. Hegseth quoted Samuel L. Jackson. House Democrats introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth this week. The unconstitutional sectarian prayer operation he has been running inside a secular military institution is not on the list. And since Pete doesn’t read his sources all the way through: by the end of Pulp Fiction, Jules figures out he is the tyranny of evil men. Just thought you should know how your prayer ends, Pete.Here’s the Pulp Fiction SCENE. Get full access to The Rogue Voice aka Linsay Rousseau at linsayrousseau.substack.com/subscribe
