Did this Newsmax host just show his true colors?

On Friday, Newsmax host Greg Kelly lashed out at Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

In a post on X, Kelly wrote that Hegseth is a despicable guy and later wrote that he’s a failure.

The Hill reported more on Greg Kelly’s remarks and why he decided to call out Hegseth:

Kelly slammed Hegseth as a “DESPICABLE guy” and “Insecure FAKE” in a post on the social platform X, suggesting the secretary rushed to oust Phelan because he “can’t remove his Real Nemesis, the Army Secretary,” referring to Dan Discroll.

He argued Hegseth could have done the “DECENT thing” and given Phelan two weeks or a month’s notice, but instead he “blows up Someone Else’s life bc he can’t Handle his own.”

“Not CUTE anymore,” Kelly wrote.

Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s chief spokesperson, announced on Wednesday that Phelan would be departing the administration after serving as Navy secretary for just 13 months. An administration official later told The Hill that he was “asked to step down.”

Phelan’s removal caught many by surprise, but Fox News reported on Thursday that tensions between him and Hegseth had been simmering for months.

A former U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The Hill the same day that Phelan’s firing was related to shipbuilding efforts.

President Trump is pushing for a new class of battleships, part of the U.S. Navy’s “Golden Fleet,” to be built by 2028— a target experts contend is unlikely to be met due to the high cost and time it would take to complete the vessels.

What a DESPICABLE guy Hegseth is. Frustrated that he can’t remove his Real Nemesis, the Army Secretary, He Fires the NAVY Secretary, has him “walked out of the building” by security. But this was NOT an Urgent matter. Could have given the SECNAV a month, maybe 2 weeks notice. You know, The DECENT thing to do. Instead this Insecure FAKE, who Lied and Conned his way thru Life (see Mom) and the Trump admin (see ‘confidential settlement’ ie Blackmail of accuser #1) Blows up Someone Else’s life bc he can’t Handle his own. Not CUTE anymore.

Some users on X found older posts from Kelly praising Hegseth.
