Social Media Erupts Over Trump's Dismissal Of Mike Waltz
Donald Trump'sdismissal of former National Security AdviserMike Waltz on Thursday was immediately felt on social media.
Waltz's departure from the Trump administration comes weeks after The Atlantic reported that he accidentally added a journalist to a group chat in which highly sensitive national security matters were discussed.
Trump saidno one would be fired for the incident, but other media outlets soon learned of other potential security leaks.
Naturally, there was snark to spare on social media after Waltz's dismissal.
Mike Waltz has left the chat.

Ironically, the announcement that Waltz was leaving the Trump administration came just hours after he appeared on Fox News to heap praise on the much-beleaguered secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth.

Mike Waltz has been fired. This is basically an admission by the White House that a breach occurred. Pete Hegseth must be next.
