Everyone’s saying the same thing after seeing leaked message from JD Vance in Pete Hegseth Signal group

People can’t stop pointing out the same detail after Vice President JD Vance sent a late-night message to a government group chat.

Earlier this year, a major blunder occurred when The Atlantic’s editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, was mistakenly added to a sensitive Signal chat involving Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and national security adviser Mike Waltz.

The chat — called “Houthi PC small group” — was used to discuss U.S. missile strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen during America’s large-scale military campaign in March. Goldberg later wrote about the surreal experience of suddenly finding himself inside a confidential government conversation.

Waltz eventually accepted “full responsibility” for adding him but still tried to shift some blame onto Goldberg, calling him a journalist with a “horrible reputation.”

The mistake triggered an investigation, and on December 2 a report titled Evaluation of the Secretary of Defense’s Reported Use of a Commercially Available Messaging Application for Official Business was released. Included in it was a screenshot showing Vance messaging the group at 2:36 a.m. on March 25, saying: “This chat’s kind of dead. Anything going on?” despite the last message having been sent days earlier.

That screenshot went viral, and social media users immediately joked that the other officials must have created a new group chat without Vance.

Comments ranged from “Most relatable politician” to “You know they made a private chat without him,” though some insisted Vance was simply making a joke after discovering Goldberg’s accidental presence.
