U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth found himself the subject of widespread ridicule after inadvertently quoting Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction instead of the Bible during a devotional service at the Pentagon. The passage — famously delivered by Samuel L. Jackson’s character Jules Winnfield — is a fictional, heavily embellished riff on Ezekiel 25:17, not the actual biblical text. The Defense Department quickly moved into damage-control mode, but the gaffe became instant fodder for late-night comedians and social media.
