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).
I don’t know that anyone who has participated in the murder and oppression of others to maintain business interests and dollar hegemony are exactly “good.”
RightReich-wing activist James O’KeefeOh, this guy again. Go figure.
I appreciate his continual commitment to being a guy that needs to be hit with a brick. Really impressive work to be this much of a shitbag consistently.
But anyone participates by paying taxes. Let’s add “willingly” to your comment.
Then I can only guess this argument leads to everyone, who might even be swayed by a protest sign, quitting- and instead holding protest signs?
I think both are required. What’s your answer if not internal opposition?
Relativity is a thing.
Much of leftists are too quick to deny the feasibility of infiltration and take overs. That’s why they’re feverishly revolutionist. Which, isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s still good to recognize that spies on the inside are good
The right loves censorship.
I wonder who the cunt filming was, or if hegseth has bugged the offices looking for dissenters. Either way, it’s fucked.
Gotta look out for those telescreens, Winston.
Reminds me of the Soviet Union and people selling out their neighbors. Must be a nightmare to work with these people.
I’m glad he was willing to stick it out. But I believe you need to be careful what you say and don’t trust anyone.
I just hope there’s others

We’re getting real close to some Kristallnacht bullshit and I sure wish the libs would shoot first
Cancel culture strikes back.
Draining the swamp, of the beneficial species, so they can continue to infest it with slime.
This is what this country needs. But, they need to keep their mouths shut. Maybe this will remind those remaining to do so.
Perfect opportunity to claim it is AI
They should have promoted him.
