Pete Hegseth Hearing Causes 'Jagoff' To Trend On Social Media
HuffPost
Although the term could refer to a judge advocate general — a military lawyer — it can also mean "a person with an unfavorable personality or annoying habits."
It remains to be seen whether Pete Hegseth’s testy Senate hearing on Tuesday will get him confirmed as Donald Trump’s Secretary of Defense.
But one thing’s for sure: It made the word “jagoff” trend on social media.
During Tuesday’s hearing, Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) asked the Fox News personality and military veteran about a statement he reportedly made to his platoon about being briefed by a “JAG officer,“ an acronym for judge advocate general, a term for a military lawyer.
Reed then asked Hegseth, “By the way, would you explain what a ‘jagoff’ is?”
Hegseth responded, “I don’t think I need to, sir.”
