Senator Tuberville’s Pentagon Blunder Alabama’s senior senator, Tommy Tuberville, made headlines this week after an unusual verbal slip during a Fox News appearance. While advocating for cuts to the Pentagon’s budget, Tuberville seemed to forget the word “triangle” exists.
Speaking with host Laura Ingraham, Tuberville stated, “Pete Hegseth has welcomed DOGE to come into the military. We need to start in the Pentagon. We need to make a trigon -- three sides -- instead of five sides in the Pentagon.” The statement left viewers puzzled as he appeared to invent a new word instead of simply saying “triangle.”
Meanwhile, the Department of Defense has announced a hiring freeze and plans to lay off 5,400 probationary employees. The decision follows a review by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which recently visited the Pentagon to assess workforce reductions.
