Hegseth, Colbert stated, “did what any mature, barely buzzed particular person would do when accused: He posted an unhinged rant on Twitter.”
Hegseth on Wednesday railed in opposition to The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who was inadvertently added to the group chat on army strikes in Yemen and different issues by nationwide safety adviser Michael Waltz.
White Home press secretary Karoline Leavitt additionally defended Hegseth, telling reporters: “Do you belief the secretary of protection, who was nominated for this position … or do you belief Jeffrey Goldberg?”
Colbert didn’t even pause earlier than providing a solution of his personal.
“Jeffrey Goldberg,” he stated.
