WASHINGTON, DC - Pete Hegseth is putting military members on notice after a Marine was fired for making shock comments about the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
Captain Jacoby Williamson, who has worked in multiple positions with the Marines since 2013, sent out an Instagram snap showing an interview segment Kirk was doing called 'DEI in the cockpit.'
'Another racist man popped,' Williamson captioned the post, adding the emoji of someone raising two beers for a toast.
The post was brought to the attention of the LibsOfTikTok account, who asked: 'Hi @PeteHegseth, can you please fire this lunatic?'
Later, Chief Pentagon Spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed the firing in a statement.
'It is unacceptable for military personnel and Department of War civilians to celebrate or mock the assassination of a fellow American,' Hegseth wrote on X. 'The Department of War has zero tolerance for it.'
