The corporate media has decided to further undermine their trust by publishing an anti-Christian informationop against Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for secretary of defense, not taking the hint from Americans ‘ waning faith in their job.
The Associated Press ( AP ) kicked off the weekend-long vilification campaign Friday evening, publishing a hit piece centered on one of the Army veteran’s Christian tattoos. Authored by Tara Copp, Michelle Smith, and Jason Dearen, the post attempts to connect Hegseth to” white nationalist parties” by claiming his” Deus Vult” forearm tattoo — which is Spanish for” God wills it” — is “associated” with such companies.
The strike work cites a complaint made against Hegseth away of Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration, at which point he served as a member of the D. C. National Guard. After reportedly seeing photos of Hegseth’s tattoos on social media, a former D. C. Guard member sent an email to the physical security manager of Hegseth’s unit, who passed the concern along to the unit’s leadership, claiming that the” Deus Vult” tattoo is “associated with]white ] Supremacist groups” and “falls along the lines of]an ] Insider Threat”.
According to the AP, the original article came from Travis Akers, a then-Navy knowledge officer. Akers is a far-left activist who has celebrated the military “embrac]ing ] the Black Lives Matter movement”, claimed there is” systemic racism” in the U. S. armed forces, and opposed efforts to keep pornographic materials out of school libraries.
Despite all the media hype, the AP’s hit piece is n’t “bombshell” news. Hegseth has recently discussed how his guarding of Biden’s inauguration was “revoked” after a D.C. Shield member fabricated his identity as an “extremist.” The original Fox News critic reportedly believed that his chest tattoo, which read” Jerusalem,” was connected to the event.
Liberals and Not Trumpers have gone out of their means to , vilify , that scar, too.
Copp, Smith, and Dearen more attempted to connect Hegseth to the Jan. 6, 2021, presentations at the U. S. Capitol, and insinuated that his ascent to defence minister could lead to an blast of so-called “extremism” throughout the company.
” If Hegseth assumes office, it would mean that someone who has said it’s a fake that extremism is a problem in the war would oversee a sprawling office whose authority reacted with concern when , people in tactical items stormed up the U. S. Capitol , steps on Jan. 6 in military-style load formation”, they wrote.
After the AP content, The Washington Post and Newsweek immediately fell in unison, regurgitating the anti-Christian libel on their respective sites. The New York Times ‘ newspaper table picked up the idea that Hegseth’s scar “is popular among white nationalists”.
ABC News ‘” Good Morning America” deployed the same deceptive frame in its policy of Hegseth’s election. The segment’s narrator criticized an Army veteran’s X post, which the former called” the targeting of Christians, liberals, revolutionaries, and everyday Americans” but claimed that it was “notably not disavowing the racists who have adopted the metaphor, though he has in the past.”
Hegseth was permitted to use the term “is known as a light racist” by a guest on MSNBC.
But, why are Hegseth’s Christian tattoo instantly significant? The man has had them for a long time and has worked in the media.
Of course, the truth has nothing to do with Hegseth’s tattoo. The final goal is to spooky the Army veteran, but the goal is to spooky sufficient GOP lawmakers to stifle his election.
Far to leftists ‘ despair, Hegseth has openly gut-the-pentagons-bureaucratic-rot/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>criticized the government’s accept of neo-Marxist ideology, continuous military invasion, and Democrats turning the company into a left-wing social experiment. Additionally, he has pledged to remove Pentagon officials who support such orthodoxy and to end DEI rot, which would destroy the armed forces.
