The Associated Press reports:
Pete Hegseth, the Army National Guard veteran and Fox News host nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Department of Defense, was flagged as a possible “Insider Threat” by a fellow service member due to a tattoo on his bicep that’s associated with white supremacist groups.
Hegseth, who has downplayed the role of military members and veterans in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack and railed against the Pentagon’s subsequent efforts to address extremism in the ranks, has said he was pulled by his District of Columbia National Guard unit from guarding Joe Biden’s January 2021 inauguration. He’s said he was unfairly identified as an extremist due to a cross tattoo on his chest.
This week, however, a fellow Guard member who was the unit’s security manager and on an anti-terrorism team at the time, shared with The Associated Press an email he sent to the unit’s leadership flagging a different tattoo reading “Deus Vult” that’s been used by white supremacists, concerned it was an indication of an “Insider Threat.”
Read the full article. Last month Hegseth sat for an interview with anti-LGBTQ Christian nationalist Kirk Cameron.

anyone the cheeto wants to surround him is a threat.

Exactly. Just as former US Rep Gabbard has been found to be a Russian asset. She hasn’t exactly broken the law probably, but it’s well known she works for them. Many of Trump’s people do.
It’s like Duck and Cover days again, except they didn’t even have to threaten to use the bomb. They’re just here, and they’ll take over in January. I can’t believe freakin’ Joe McCarthy’s not shooting sparks out of his grave.

Precisely. It is what Putin has been doing for years, now. And not under cover, either. It’s been out there for people to see, and even to read about, some.
Ah, well.

Hi Suze the more I read about the guy the scarier he is. I read an article on him this morning where he wants government rule by gang thugs, that the right should intimidate and threaten (beat) the left so they are too scared to come out in public, he wants the military and police to take out democrats if Kamala had won the elections, claims the left wants to destroy democracy and hates the constitution so won’t follow it but the right is working fearlessly to save both, he wants a complete forced Christian take over of the country and everyone forced to live by his ideas of a Christian life. Yes he, the twice divorced three times married man accused of drunkenness and sexual assault of women. But while he wants to force everyone that is not thrown out of the country for not being white he wants to force to live by his ideas of Christian doctrine I don’t think he understands his bible much. But these people tend to make their god in their own image. He is heavily tattooed and the bible is against that in many places. Leviticus 19:28 You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord. Hugs
