Trump’s Pick to Lead U.S. Military Has Tattoos Linked to White Supremacists and Nazis

Concerns are mounting over Trump’s pick to lead the Pentagon, Fox News host and military veteran Pete Hegseth. CBS News reports that Hegseth was one of 12 National Guard members who were removed as guards for President Biden’s 2021 inauguration over possible extremist ties. Hegseth has tattoos associated with the white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements, including what’s known as a Jerusalem cross, a symbol used by Christian nationalists. In related news, the government watchdog Accountable.US announced it’s launching a “Trump Accountability War Room” to monitor Trump’s appointments and executive actions as he takes up his second term.

Watch the MSM do a lot of disclaimers giving him the benefit of the doubt.
@kimlockhartga After Jan 6 the entire DOD, every Service member and civilian, had to attend training sessions on extremism, and were explicitly warned that extremism would lose you your job. Now it's a complete 180 not to mention this guy doesn't think women should be in the military, just a few years after women got the right to enter combat arms and completed Ranger training and Special Forces training.
@kimlockhartga the only other time I've seen tattoos like that has been while watching documentaries about prisons and they've been on inmates who are members of the Aryan brotherhood so... yeah that checks out.
