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.

    Deus Vult has indeed been co-opted by white supremacists along with a lot of crusader/christian symbolism.

      Almost like its coded so as to not blatantly say “I’m a white supremist” while also clearly signaling to people he is.

      Are people just learning about plausible deniability?

      Now that said, sure this could be a nothing burger, but when coupled to be right wing…

      What’s that saying?

      You find me a nazi I can sure bet they’d be voting Republican.
