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

Everyone has been pointing out the same thing after JD Vance messaged his colleagues about their 'dead' group chat.

Earlier this year, a journalist was accidentally added to a highly confidential group chat that had the likes of Vance, defense secretary Pete Hegseth, and national security adviser Mike Waltz in it.

The journalist was The Atlantic's editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, and it's thought that Waltz was the one to add him to the chat by mistake.

In the Signal group chat, titled 'Houthi PC small group', the government officials discussed the missile attacks the US carried out on Yemen. America launched a large campaign of air and naval strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen in March.

Goldberg proceeded to write about his highly unusual experience of accidentally being added to a group chat with the vice president of the United States.

Waltz went on to take 'full responsibility' for the mishap — but tried to place some of the blame on Goldberg as well.

"I can tell you for 100 percent I don't know this guy. I know him by his horrible reputation, and he really is the bottom scum of journalists," he said of Goldberg.

An investigation was then sparked to look into the situation and a report into the matter titled 'Evaluation of the Secretary of Defense's Reported Use of a Commercially Available Messaging Application for Official Business' was released on December 2.

As part of the report, there was a screenshot of a message sent by Vance to his comrades at the rather ungodly hour of 2:36am, hours after news broke about Goldberg being added to the very same chat. Vance wrote on March 25: "This chat's kind of dead. Anything going on?"

The last message in the chat looks to have been sent days prior, on March 16.

The same sceengrab has been shared to social media and its left everyone saying the same thing... that the rest of the group chat likely made a new message thread without Vance in it.

"They all started a new groupchat without him," one person penned on Twitter, adding: "Most relatable politician."

A second wrote: "They made a whole a** private group chat without him LMAOOOOO."

Echoing similar sentiments, a third person said: "You just know they made a group without him."

"He sounds like a guy who never gets invited to anything," somebody else said of Vance.

Others suggested that the vice president was purposely joking though. One Twitter user questioned: "Are all the comments seriously missing the joke?"

Another added: "He's making a joke after they found out the journo was in the chat lol."
