“We could be facing a worst-case scenario,” said Nicolas Turza, a Branch Chief at the DOD

“We could be facing a worst-case scenario,” said Nicolas Turza, a Branch Chief at the Department of Defense (
@DeptofDefense
), during an undercover date with an OMG journalist. Turza, whose role places him in a position of influence within the Pentagon, openly expressed opposition to the Commander-in-Chief.

Referring to President Trump (
@realDonaldTrump
), Turza stated, “The same guy who tried to overthrow an election is just, like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship. He’s illegitimate. He’s terribly immoral, breaking every norm. We’re going to resist him. Everything he does.”

He added, “I’m a very patriotic person, and I’ve never been less patriotic.”

Turza also criticized Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (
@SecDef
), saying, “This is insane… That’s not a good reflection on me. That’s a bad reflection on Trump… Nobody I know should be the Secretary of Defense.” He questioned Hegseth’s qualifications, calling him “insanely young to be the part” and adding, “he wasn’t that high up in the military.”

Discussing the Pentagon's culture under the current administration, Turza revealed, “I think they don't care who they hurt… They do a lot of the things that they do to enact a change that they see is making America in a populist, conservative framework that is more traditional, even if that means being sexist or racist or chauvinist.”

When asked his personal opinion of the president, Turza didn’t hold back: “The worst thing about him is his utter lack of moral principle… The second worst thing about him is how stupid he could be.”
