Didn't Age Well: Rep. Ted Lieu: ‘Mike Waltz Is Out. Hegseth, You're Next’

As Twitchy reported earlier Thursday, Fox News announced that National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was leaving the administration. Waltz was to blame for adding Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal chat. 

Gov. Tim Walz got in a dig.

Mike Waltz has left the chat.

Get it? Sen. Ted Lieu also got in on the dunking, saying that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is next.

Waltz is out.

Hegseth, you’re next.

Fox News was incorrect that Waltz was leaving the administration. President Donald Trump has named him the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.

Waltz has been named the ambassador to the UN.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as interim National Security Advisor until a replacement is found.

You spelled UN Ambassador wrong. 😂
