Pete Hegseth, the nominee for secretary of defense for president-elect Donald Trump, has defended his own piercings after being repeatedly accused of being associated with bright nationalism.
The Associated Press post was highlighted by evil president-elect J. D. Vance, who posted on X:” They’re attacking Pete Hegseth for having a Christian tagline tattooed on his shoulder. The AP should be ashamed of itself for this repulsive anti-Christian prejudice.
Hegseth has his first public appearance since the announcement that he would take over the Pentagon was due to Vance’s article.
” Amen JD Vance. Anti-Christian prejudice in the internet on total display”, he wrote on X.
” This type of targeting of Christians, liberals, patriots and everyday Americans will cease on DAY ONE at DJT’s Do D”.
Pray @JDVance. Anti-Christian prejudice in the internet on full screen.
They can target me — I do n’t give a damn — but this type of targeting of Christians, conservatives, patriots and everyday Americans will stop on DAY ONE at DJT’s DoD. https ://t.co/TCZVWsxEAS

The National Guard senior, Fox News character, and then candidate for Trump’s secretary of defense has a number of religiously inspired tattoos, which have been the cause of many articles in the past weeks.  ,
A big Jerusalem cross is engraved on his breasts, which is the tattoo’s most important feature. Hegseth recently claimed that President Joe Biden‘s opening in 2021 was prevented by his tattoo of the Jerusalem Cross.
Hegseth’s tattoos were the subject of a former First Lady’s Jill Biden spokesman’s plea to halt demonizing their foes as white supremacists.
Hegseth was responding to a host on MSNBC who claimed Hegseth was white racist because he opposed DEI in the armed forces.
” This s*** has to stop”, LaRosa wrote. ” Opposing DEI initiatives does not make you a white supremacist. We were kicked for having our behinds kicked because of conversations and marginalization like this.
He added:” The response to fanaticism is not more extremism. The Democratic Party is becoming a prank because of this vocal opposition on the left. We must push it off and attract severe observers who can diagnose politics rather than make it worse. Name-calling, vilifying, and defaming contenders you oppose, even if there is really great reason to resist them, represents all the Democratic Party may be RUNNING aside from”.
Hegseth has been chosen as the military’s secretary of defense because he is commonly believed to be the front-runner against DEI.

Hegseth was asked how he would correct the military while discussing his tattoos on the same audio. His remarks came before he was nominated.
” Well first of all you’ve got to flame the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and you’ve got to flame — I mean clearly you’ve got to bring in a new Secretary of Defense, but any standard that was involved — general, general, whatever — that was involved in any of the DEI woke s*** has got to go”, Hegseth said.
