'Go F**k Yourself': Jon Stewart Goes There On Pete Hegseth And His 'Cartoonish' Military Views

Jon Stewart went in on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his macho man vision for the U.S. military in comments that dropped less than 24 hours after a failed House impeachment push against the ex-Fox News host.

“Go fuck yourself!” said Stewart of Hegseth’s “fucking insecure,” transphobic ideology for the military on Wednesday’s episode of “The Weekly Show.”

Stewart — when asked if Hegseth scares people more because he’s “so macho” or because he’s “such a moron” — mockingly pointed to the former before taking on the defense secretary’s anti-woke doctrine.

“It’s such a narrow, cartoonish, caricatured vision of what it means to have a force that’s effective and, by the way, utilized properly,” he said.

“It’s not just about the strength of it; it’s about not getting us into reckless situations that people could see forming from a mile away that would constrict our ability to get fuel for the next year.”

As for the efforts to impeach Hegseth, Stewart said the ex-Fox News host “sucks so badly” that Donald Trump should save him the trouble and — as he often did on “The Apprentice” — tell him he’s fired.

Hegseth — who is polling worse than the president and two ex-Cabinet members — is pushing for a $1.5 trillion defense budget, or an over 40% increase in military spending.

“So the idea that impeachment is the only recourse for any of this — he should be fired for fucking sucking,” Stewart said.

“He shouldn’t be impeached; we should live in a system where the people that run our institutions are accountable enough that obvious, lousy performance has consequences to their employment.”
