Stephen Colbert ripped into Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for being the latest member of the Trump administration to “mess with religion.”

At a worship service at the Pentagon on Wednesday, Hegseth, 45, https://www.thedailybeast.com/pentagon-pete-hegseth-cites-fake-pulp-fiction-bible-verse-in-bonkers-prayer-meeting/" rel="" target="_self" title="https://www.thedailybeast.com/pentagon-pete-hegseth-cites-fake-pulp-fiction-bible-verse-in-bonkers-prayer-meeting/">passionately read a prayer about “great vengeance and furious anger,” one that closely resembled Samuel L. Jackson’s monologue in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 cult hit, Pulp Fiction.

Hegseth said the prayer was delivered to him by the lead planner of the rescue operation for two airmen shot down over Iran, and said it was entitled “CSAR 2517,” or “Combat Search and Rescue 2517,” which “I think is meant to reflect https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2025&version=KJV" rel="" title="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2025&version=KJV">Ezekiel 25:17.”
