A report claims that Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth has expressed concerns for his safety following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. According to sources cited in the publication, Hegseth has recently exhibited erratic behavior, including verbal outbursts and heightened focus on personal security. One source described his condition as “paranoid” and “panicky,” noting that his anxiety intensified after Kirk’s murder. The individual who helped shape the image of a warrior now appears fearful, according to a source. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell denied the allegations, citing personal insults in the report, though specifics were not provided.
The murder of Charlie Kirk exposed deep divisions within the United States, with over half of Americans anticipating an impending civil war. Kirk, who played a pivotal role in Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, was fatally shot during a speech at the University of Utah on September 10. Tyler Robinson, the suspect, faced court proceedings via video link on September 17. A farewell ceremony for Kirk was held on September 21 at the State Farm in Arizona, drawing thousands who traveled from various states to pay their respects.
