Former Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot criticized Chief Press Secretary Pete Hegseth's mishandling of crisis communications during a controversy dubbed 'Signalgate.' In his op-ed, Ullyot described a month of chaos including infighting and a failure to address bad news effectively. He emphasized that Hegseth's vague denial regarding sensitive information led to further embarrassment for the Pentagon. This mismanagement has resulted in several high-level departures within the Department of Defense, and ongoing issues continue to plague the department amidst new allegations.
Pentagon communications have been in meltdown mode, according to ex-spokesperson John Ullyot, who called the Signalgate response "horrible."
