Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was red-faced on Saturday after showing up at a “No Kings!” demonstration in Washington, DC, waving a sign featuring a photo of Martin Luther King, Jr. wearing devil’s horns.
“I thought it was a rally to repeal Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,” Hegseth admitted. “That being said, there’s no way this King guy should be honored with a national holiday. Do you know that he spent time in JAIL during the civil rights movement? Our country should never honor criminals, unless they’ve been pardoned by President Trump — like Lil Wayne. Now, that’s a person of color I’d be proud to have as my co-pilot if we ever bombed a non-Christian elementary school in Iran.”
