Hegseth compares media to Jewish biblical group that clashed with Jesus
Hegseth’s prayer echoed a Pulp Fiction monologue and drew fresh criticism after he compared reporters to biblical Pharisees.
- On Wednesday, April 15, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recited a prayer at a Pentagon service that critics identified as a modified quote from the 1994 film Pulp Fiction rather than scripture.
- Hegseth introduced the lines as "CSAR 2517," claiming the prayer was recited by Air Force Combat Search and Rescue teams during a recent rescue mission in Iran earlier this month.
- The prayer mirrors a monologue Samuel L. Jackson's character delivers in Pulp Fiction, which falsely attributes the lines to Ezekiel 25:17, a biblical passage detailing divine judgment.
- Social media users criticized the Secretary, with some calling the incident embarrassing, while Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell defended Hegseth, stating the prayer reflects the verse's themes.
- This incident follows broader tensions between the administration and religious leaders; Vice President JD Vance recently urged the Pope to "stay out of politics" regarding the war in Iran.
