Nicolas Turza, the Department of Defense Branch Chief who was caught on undercover video calling President Trump “illegitimate” has resigned.
The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of a Defense Department Branch Chief attacking President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Nicolas Turza, a Department of Defense Branch Chief, called President Trump “illegitimate” and vowed to “resist him, everything he does.”
Turza also attacked Hegseth and said the 44-year-old is “insanely young” and unfit to lead.
“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,” Turza said about Trump.
“I’m a very patriotic person, and I’ve never been less patriotic,” he said to the OMG journalist.
Turza then attacked Pete Hegseth.
“Ultimately [Hegseth] is my boss. But this is insane. I actually know Pete Hegseth. And this is so crazy. Like, that’s not a good reflection on me. That’s a bad reflection on Trump. Like, nobody I know should be the Secretary of Defense,” Turza said.
He continued, “Like, he’s insanely young to be the part, like, and he wasn’t that high up in the military. He used to be in the DC National Guard.”
When asked about his opinion about Trump, Turza said, “The worst thing about him is his utter lack of moral principle… The second worst thing about him is how stupid he could be.”
James O’Keefe said Hegseth has never even heard of Nicolas Turza.
WATCH:
Hegseth has reportedly seen O’Keefe’s video on Turza.

Well, bye.
Unfortunately there aren’t enough O’Keefes to weed these people out.
I encourage any others who feel this way to also resign.
Keep turning over rocks. These vermin cannot tolerate the light.
I’m curious. What “Branch” in DoD are they talking about?
I knew this was going to happen once they started allowing fags, lesbos, cannibals and trannies in the military.
Unfortunately there aren’t enough O’Keefes to weed these people out.
With all their hate of Trump they’ll weed themselves out
Biden and he have a lot in common now.
Hegseth should send out a departmental email stating that anyone who isn’t 100% loyal to their Commander in Chief, Donald Trump, they should resign immediately. Will this do anything? Who knows? At least it will be on record.
Finally. Others who have not supported the chain of command have been reassigned. All future cases should result in resignation or firing with prejudice.
He probably resigned before before someone fires him.
Seems like all Hegseth has time to do at the Pentagon is to play “Whack-a-mole” with all the crazy stay-behinds from the Biden years. Well, so be it.
Branch Chief? I was a Branch Chief when I was an E-5. That tells you how far down the command chain that position is! If he’s a fed, probably GS-13.
“Either your signature or your brains are going to be on that letter of resignation.” He couldn’t refuse.
Branch Chief of what?
The Swamp id deep and wide with a lot of these self-righteous ankle-biters in every pool.
It’s gonna take years to clean them all out.
And the first Democrat to be elected POTUS will just hire them all back again...............
I’ve never heard of of a Branch Chief. If he had the average pay of a GS13 he was probably making around $100K a year..
