www.dailymail.co.ukHere’s what’s publicly circulating about Pete Hegseth and a Bible verse from Pulp Fiction.
- Reports claim Hegseth delivered a Pentagon sermon in mid-April 2026 that echoed lines from a famous monologue in Pulp Fiction, rather than a standard biblical verse, prompting criticism and defense from Pentagon officials.[1][2]
