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.

    If this person gets clearance and is not open about the hate group ties, that can be grounds for prosecution. The big question will be whether or not anyone cares.

      The big question will be whether or not anyone cares who has the ability to do anything about it.

      Oh, yeah, that will happen with Matt “baby-rapin’” Gaetz as AG. Hell it wouldn’t happen with Milquetoast Merrick Garland because that would be “political”.

      Anybody in the trump cabinet who does not present video proof of them raping a child or committing hate crimes while doing nazi salutes is going to be prosecuted for disloyalty.

      It’s the trump white house resume.
