"During a prayer service, Hegseth urged his audience to join him in a prayer he claimed was delivered at the beginning of a mission to rescue a downed pilot in Iran. He referred to it as CSAR 25:17, suggesting it reflected Ezekiel 25:17, but his version closely mirrored a famous quote from Pulp Fiction."
"The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of camaraderie and duty shepherds the lost through the valley of darkness."
"In the King James Bible, Ezekiel 25:17 simply reads, 'And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.' Hegseth's words bore a strong resemblance to the fake version delivered in Pulp Fiction."
Rep. Salud Carbajal challenged Pete Hegseth regarding a misattributed Bible quote during a Pentagon prayer service. Hegseth claimed the quote was from Ezekiel 25:17, but it closely resembled a passage from Quentin Tarantino's film Pulp Fiction. Carbajal pointed out the inaccuracy, emphasizing that the movie does not accurately portray biblical scripture. The original biblical verse differs significantly from Hegseth's rendition, which was delivered dramatically in the film by Samuel L. Jackson, highlighting the confusion between the two sources.
