Pete Hegseth, known for frequently referencing God in speeches, is facing backlash after a public mishap during a Pentagon prayer service.<\/p>\n

While delivering remarks tied to a military worship event, he recited a dramatic \u201cBible passage\u201d meant to honor a rescue mission\u2014but the quote wasn\u2019t from the Bible at all. It was actually from the 1994 film Pulp Fiction<\/em>, where Samuel L. Jackson\u2019s character delivers a stylized version inspired by Ezekiel 25:17.<\/p>\n

The confusion sparked widespread reactions online, with many mocking the error and pointing out the mix-up between scripture and Hollywood dialogue.<\/p>\n

The original Bible verse is much simpler and does not match the theatrical version used in the film.<\/p>\n

After the incident went viral, the Pentagon responded, saying Hegseth was referencing a \u201cCSAR prayer\u201d used by military personnel, which itself was inspired by Pulp Fiction<\/em> dialogue and loosely connected to Ezekiel 25:17. Officials insisted he did not misquote scripture and called criticism \u201cfake news.\u201d<\/p>\n

The moment quickly became a social media talking point, blending politics, religion, and pop culture into controversy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
