They’re asking Pete Hegseth about the wrong tattoo!
Pete Hegseth’s tattoos are not a harmless expression of his Christian faith—they are white nationalist symbols.

⚠️ Trump’s defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth was flagged as a military 'insider threat' ahead of Biden’s inauguration because of the 'Deus Vult' tattoo located on his bicep.

Germans expected the Christmas market terrorist to be an Islamic extremist—he turned out to be a psychotherapist with strong Islamophobic, anti-immigrant views, despite being an immigrant himself.

He’s also voiced support for the far-right, neo-Nazi AfD party—just like Elon Musk did a few days ago.

My state’s health department just banned COVID, mpox, and flu vaccine promotion by all staff statewide. In public, at events, on the website, nowhere.

Mind you, Louisiana has the highest rates of influenza in the country.

God help us.
