The Wall Street Journal reported on the defense secretary’s hissy fit amid growing chaos.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly teed off on a high-ranking official he suspected of a leak, lewdly threatening him with a lie detector test.

The Wall Street Journal on Thursday divulged the alleged details of the embattled Hegseth’s tantrum. When word got out Hegseth was setting up a classified briefing for Elon Musk on China last month, Donald Trump got angry amid Pentagon concerns over the DOGE leader’s business connections to China, the Journal wrote.

That’s when Hegseth lost it.

“I’ll hook you up to a fucking polygraph!” Hegseth blared at Navy Admiral Christopher Grady, two people familiar with the exchange told WSJ.

    You’ve clearly never been treated to a polygraph by me. It’s a sensual polygraph experience and baby girl, you’ll be telling me everything like the orca I tend to at the San Antonio SeaWorld.

    I got lectured about not using the sarcasm tag the other day. So, /completely serious

      Okay, let’s do this. I think I can role-play an orca. Sounds fun.
