'P***y Move, Hegseth!': Jordan Klepper Taunts Defense Secretary After 'Weird' Idea
HuffPost
The "Daily Show" correspondent trolled the defense secretary over a loophole used to rename a U.S. military installation.
“Daily Show” correspondent Jordan Klepper on Tuesday mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as President Donald Trump’s “top Cabinet member if you go by blood alcohol level.”
Hegseth this week changed the name of North Caroline’s Fort Liberty to Fort Bragg, which had been the name of the Army base until 2023, when it was changed to stop honoring Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg.
Restoring that name became a cause of many on the right ― except Hegseth didn’t quite deliver what they wanted. To get around a law preventing names that honor Confederates, Hegseth’s order renames the base for Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, a little-known WWII figure.
“You named Fort Bragg after a different Bragg? So after all that bitching about not giving into ‘woke history,’ you’re basically admitting that we shouldn’t name military bases after Confederate generals,” Klepper said. “Well it’s a good thing woke is over, because I think I can say this now: That’s a pussy move, Hegseth.”
Klepper pointed out that Roland Bragg didn’t even have a Wikipedia entry until this week.
Still, she insists she's proud of the Oscar-nominated film and says she "would do this movie over and over again if I could."
