With rumors of drunkenness continuing to swirl around Secretary of Defense Pete Hegesth, a remark he made this morning at a press briefing suggests that he may indeed still be hitting the sauce.
At the start of the presser, Hegseth remarked, “The war department stands ready for what comes next. Locked and loaded. May God continue to breast—bless our warriors each and every day and on each and every mission.”

Granted, it’s probably just an innocent slip of the tongue. Still, such actions don’t exactly inspire confidence when a person has a history of being a boozer, as many online commenters noted.
Only the breast people.

That’s Pete’s morning Bloody Mary talking.
