A conservative firestorm erupted after journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was added to a private Signal chat where Trump officials discussed military plans. Newsmax host Carl Higbie slammed Goldberg as a “self-loathing hack” who lacked ethics by staying in the group instead of alerting participants. The Atlantic editor published details about planned strikes against Houthi terrorists in Yemen, sparking liberal outrage over national security risks.
Higbie defended the Trump administration, saying no classified information was shared in the chat. He argued the real story was Goldberg’s decision to exploit the accidental invite for political gain. “If any professional gets info they shouldn’t have, they’re supposed to speak up—not use it to attack patriots,” Higbie said. He called Goldberg a partisan activist masquerading as a journalist, pointing to his history of publishing debunked anti-Trump stories.
Democrats compared the Signal chat to Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, but Higbie noted key differences. Clinton stored classified documents on an insecure server for years, while Trump’s team used government-approved encrypted messaging. The White House confirmed no troop movements or intelligence sources were revealed. “This was about smoking terrorists, not leaking secrets,” Higbie said, praising the successful strikes that protected shipping lanes without American casualties.
Critics claim the incident shows recklessness, but Higbie blamed “fake news” hysteria. He accused liberals of ignoring Biden’s mishandling of classified files found in his garage while inventing scandals to hurt Trump. “The left can’t handle strong leadership,” Higbie said, highlighting Trump’s $4 trillion in new foreign investments as proof of his economic success.
The controversy exposes media double standards. Goldberg faced no backlash for publishing the chat, while conservatives are persecuted for minor errors. Higbie urged Americans to focus on results: under Trump, gas prices dropped, borders tightened, and enemies were eliminated. “Democrats stand for nothing but hatred of your freedoms,” he said. “They’d rather protect terrorists than let Trump keep winning.”
As the 2024 election approaches, expect more desperate attacks from the left. Higbie concluded, “This is all they have—phony outrage over typo-filled texts while real Americans cheer the return of peace and prosperity.”
