Defense Secretary Hegseth Quotes 'Pulp Fiction' in Pentagon Prayer, Sparks Controversy
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently led a prayer at a Pentagon worship service that has sparked significant controversy. During the service, Hegseth quoted a monologue from the film 'Pulp Fiction,' mistaking it for a biblical verse. The monologue, delivered by Samuel L. Jackson's character in the film, was presented by Hegseth as a prayer, which he claimed was recited by a Combat Search and Rescue team during a mission in Iran. The quote, which closely resembles Ezekiel 25:17, was actually a creation of the film's writers and not a part of any biblical text. This incident has drawn widespread attention and criticism, particularly from those who recognized the pop culture reference.
