Stephen Colbert branded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth a “discount Dr. Seuss D-----bag” for his muddled messaging on the war in Iran.
President Donald Trump launched “major combat operations” against Iran on Saturday, urging Iranians to rise up and overthrow the Islamic regime. The country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was wiped out in the initial strike, prompting the Pentagon chief to declare, “This is not a so-called regime-change war.”
“But the regime sure did change,” Hegseth couldn’t help adding with a smirk, providing fodder for an attack from the host on Tuesday’s Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
