A senior Pentagon official has been placed on leave after he was secretly filmed criticizing President Donald Trump’s administration and the changes it has implemented at the Department of Defense.
Right-wing activist James O’Keefe released a video on Wednesday reportedly showing Brandon Newsom, a senior official in the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, being filmed with a hidden camera. Newsweek has not independently verified the footage.
In the footage, Newsom can be heard saying that he wanted to “stay and stick it out” at the Pentagon, adding: “So that way, when the time comes, I can undo whatever’s been done [by the Trump administration].” When asked about what he would undo, he talked of “a lot of times” when working at the Pentagon “challenges my morals,” saying he would not have “one specific prayer service” and undo employee “schedule policy.”
He also called Trump “a textbook narcissist” and described the Iran war as “completely stupid” and “driven by one man’s ego.”
Good to know there’s still good people in the military (1 less now, but this show they’re there).
LOL this is such an American response… I’ll let you in on a little secret: such knowledge is hidden inside obscure devices called Books

why? so you can pretend there is nothing to be fixed in yours until America is literally the worst of the worst?
After the fact. Not DURING
ok, tell me how america will fix the 180 little girls slaughtered in the first salvo in Iran? of the 200+ people America executed in the Caribbean?
My comcent here is not universal to all in the same situation… a librarian forced to hide good books and showcase Mein Kampf can absolutely hold and fix things when the opportunity arises… the military cannot
