National Security Advisor Mike Waltz has found himself in a rather embarrassing predicament involving none other than Jeffrey Goldberg, the notorious Trump critic and Atlantic editor. During an appearance on Fox News, Waltz discussed how Goldberg somehow ended up mistakenly included in a Signal chat featuring key figures of the Trump administration’s national security team, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. This admission only adds to the ongoing saga of leftist media trying to infiltrate and undermine conservative leadership.
The Signal chat incident has been a lightning rod for scrutiny, as Goldberg alleged he gained access to sensitive discussions, including classified details on military operations in Yemen. While the National Security Council confirmed the chat’s existence, Pete Hegseth was quick to assert that no actual war plans were ever divulged. Additionally, President Trump publicly backed Waltz, recognizing him as an effective leader despite the faux pas involving a journalist whose sole mission seems to be smearing the administration.
Laura Ingraham, hosting The Ingraham Angle, wasted no time getting to the meat of the matter, questioning how a journalist notorious for his anti-Trump rhetoric could find himself in such a secure setting. Waltz expressed bewilderment at the occurrence and described it as a classic blunder. He emphasized that while mistakes happen, the idea that Goldberg, a man with a well-documented history of dishonesty, could be involved is both absurd and troubling.

Waltz took full responsibility for the misstep, making it clear that the error does not reflect his professional capabilities or the team’s competence. He dutifully began investigating the matter, ensuring that those responsible—if anyone beyond himself—would be held accountable. Calling Goldberg the “bottom scum of journalists,” he reiterated that he had no connection with the man, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
While the mainstream media loves a sensational story, the Trump administration’s critics appeared more interested in scandal than truth. This incident, branded as a “mistake,” highlights a troubling trend of misinformation and the lengths to which opponents will go to undermine conservative leaders. In a world where penetrating the echo chamber of the leftist media is a daily battle, one misdirected text chat is just another day at the office for the Trump administration’s critics.
