The White House is publicly defending Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after he texted sensitive military information in a Signal chat. But behind the scenes, administration insiders are starting to express doubts about the Pentagon chief’s judgment.

Officials agree national security adviser Mike Waltz, who accidentally invited a journalist to a group chat with senior leaders, could more easily take the fall for a scandal that has embarrassed the administration — which may end up sparing Hegseth his job.

But Republican hawks, Pentagon officials and even some inside the White House now believe Hegseth also messed up by sending likely classified details from his phone. And that has the potential to undermine his credibility in the administration.

Because Trump clearly likes and has publicly exonerated Hegseth, “you’re not going to hear a huge public outcry,” said a senior GOP official on Capitol Hill who is close to the White House. “But, privately, there is a lot of concern about his judgment, more than with Waltz.”

Even for a Pentagon chief who has copied Trump’s pugilistic style — down to his Sharpie signature and campaign-style videos — Hegseth’s growing pile of mistakes are getting noticed, according to four officials and two people in touch with the administration.

“The problem is this is another example of inexperience,” said a person close to the White House, who like others, was granted anonymity to discuss a politically sensitive issue. “What happens when Hegseth needs to manage a real crisis?”

I’m sorry but he’s doing a great job.

In what way?

No American has died in Afghanistan yet.

4 Americans just died in Lithuania.

Republicans don't apparently care about those particular 4 American military service members.

Trump will not replace anyone because he has their undying loyalty to him not the US Constitution. UNLESS, hs conduct/decisions impinge on trump's popularity. This is true of everyone in trump's administration

I assume you mean Jan. 20, 2029.

Now go back and compare the Trump #1 administration with Biden. I think you will find that there was a lot more cabinet turnover under Trump. Seriously, Lloyd Austin should have been fired on numerous occasions but somehow wasn’t. At least Trump was willing to fire people who weren’t up to the job.

Trump has picked people who support project 2025. Not gonna fire them. I don’t think Trump is even running the show. He’s there to keep the spot light off of the horrible things they are doing to our country.

Four have died in Lithuania and three at DCA. I’m sure there have been more. What’s your point.

By what measure?

He just blew the Houthis up with missiles. Biden couldn't do that.

Well that’s a lie. Biden was striking the Houthi’s up to point he left office. Guess what, the Houthi’s remained then and they remain now. They are going to have to put boots on the ground for a decisive win.

This exactly.

He’s an amateur in over his head, and it shows. It just gets worse from here. He won’t make it all four years.

That man is in his flask by COB next week. He won’t last.

All that needs to happen is someone should get him visibly drunk before the next presser.

I nominate France, Germany, and the UK to put their own boots on the ground in Yemen, since it is their trade threatened. Not ours. And hey, it’ll help them reach that 3% of GDP defense spending target level.

And nothing would happen. He'll be further defended by KKK-aroline Leavitt.

Because a qualified SecDef would've known not to use Signal to talk about the attack.

He stoped the racism which is DEI.

Or are you democrats still supporting racism?

do you understand what racism is?

Waltz will take the fall for this.

Yup. This was a perfect off ramp, and the GOP didn’t take it.

They didn’t take it when we sided with Russia.

They didn’t take it when Trump threatened to take Greenland by any measure (yesterday).

They didn’t take it when Trump was willing to tank the market with blanket tariffs.

They understand that to outrun the bear they need to just push Americans down, and that’s what they’ve done (rather than use bear spray). Americans need to understand they won’t do anything for us, there’s not enough room in the life raft, if you like that metaphor better.

Americans in Pennsylvania understood that. It's looking like Anericans in Florida and Wisconsin understand that too.

NP. I don't think they do. So, remember, folks:
The opposite of diversity is uniformity.
The opposite of equity is inequity (unfairness).
The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.

If you're in favor of uniformity, inequity, and exclusion, that suggests that you are a racist. Among other things. None of them good.
