Two Far-Left Veterans Behind Claim Pete Hegseth’s Tattoos Are Linked to White Supremacy
Kristina Wong 21 Nov 2024
Two far-left, pro-Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) veterans are behind allegations that Trump defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth’s tattoos are tied to white supremacy, according to public reports and information.
The bogus allegations stem back three years, when Hegseth, as a member of the DC National Guard, was tasked with supporting the 2021 inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden with crowd control and protecting the parade routes. One day prior to the inauguration, he was told by his unit leadership to “stand down,” and that his orders had been revoked.
As Hegseth writes in his book, The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free, a senior leader in his unit told him, “You were not brought to the inauguration because they dubbed you as an extremist. You got flagged by two soldiers who had been trolling your social media. They saw your tattoo. And the tattoo was what they flagged you on.”
When Hegseth asked which tattoo, he was told, “The cross on your chest was what they determined was what made you an extremist and domestic threat. That cross, it was determined, is a tattoo of a white nationalist extremist.”
Hegseth was shocked, as he wrote in his book:
“It’s a Jerusalem Cross! Did they even google it?!”
The Jerusalem Cross represents Christ’s sacrifice and the mission to spread his gospel to the four corners of the world. There is one large cross in the middle and four smaller crosses at each corner. This was part of the coat of arms after AD 1203 and the 104-year reign of the Jerusalem Kingdom. I got it after I saw it on a church while walking the streets of Jerusalem.
It’s a religious symbol, not a white nationalist symbol.
