Pete Hegseth, the Jerusalem Cross, the Crusades, and Anti-Christian Bigotry
As soon as President-elect Donald Trump had nominated Fox News host Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense, the legacy media unleashed a torrent of breathless stories about Hegseth’s “extremism” because he displays tattoos of the Jerusalem Cross and “Deus vult,” a Latin phrase associated with the Crusades.The Associated Press reported that a fellow service member had flagged Hegseth as a possible “Insider Threat” due to “a tattoo on his bicep that’s associated with white supremacist groups.”
They're attacking Pete Hegseth for having a Christian motto tattooed on his arm. This is disgusting anti-Christian bigotry from the AP, and the entire organization should be ashamed of itself. https://t.co/tQxuD3RPlx — JD Vance (@JDVance) November 15, 2024

Polymarket gives him a 52% chance of confirmation after CNN did a hit job on him. Knocking Pete out of contention would be a real feather in their little cap.

Not to diminish Pete's service, but a lot of those medals you get just for being there. Pete is a Dane. He identifies strongly with the Vikings. I don't see anything wrong with that. As far as the tattoo, I remember when my nephew was a teenager, he had the German Eagle tattooed on his chest. He didn't identify with the Nazi Party, in fact he probably never heard of it. He just liked the picture of the Eagle.
Too much emphasis on Symbols, and not enough emphasis on Substance!
