CALLING PETE HEGSETH "SECRETARY OF CRINGE" MAY SOON CARRY A 6-7 YEAR PRISON SENTENCE

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans are being warned to think twice before referring to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as “Secretary of Cringe,” as the phrase could reportedly carry a 6–7 year prison sentence.

Legal experts say the punishment would be especially harsh considering the crime is, technically, just making fun of a government official.

“Frankly, calling him Secretary of Cringe is one of the most dangerous things you can do in America right now,” said one attorney.

Hegseth's office has not confirmed the sentence, but did confirm that he is currently very upset about the nickname.
