Speaking in north-west France on Saturday to mark the 82nd anniversary of the D-day landings
“Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different, dangerous ideologies … Beaches in Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion, or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not,” he said.
Jesus, he said it literally to the French in the American cemetary.
“Speech on immigration” really undersells the actual Christo-fascist hate speech that this is. France should start doing something about the invasion of dangerous ideologies by deporting Hegarty and banning re-entry.
Pete Hegseth is a fascist, the fact is clear as day.
The problem is, it’s not just Hegseth.
It feels very 1933 outside all around.
ValmondFeels like we’re a couple of months away from the dissolution of congress and totalitarian single party dictator rule.
The concentration camps are there to go after anybody suggesting resistance or saying things contrary to the party… and the mass subpoenas for identification on social media are the preparations for it.
When it happens the line will be that they are correcting political prosecution, injustice and corruption by “radical Democrats”
I’m expecting a Reichstag fire rather than relying entirely on the last election rhetoric. For those who have never read about the 1933 German election, I recommend doing so soon.
Someone should remind him the D-Day invasion was to exterminate people like him.
I mean, he definitely seems to be siding with the people defending against the invasion. I think he already knows they were his kind of people.
Apt description of the man himself

cloudless.The best part of Hegseth’s appearances is his unshakable overconfidence. He truly stands behind every dumb utterance he makes like it is gospel.
Is he the “I never wash my hands” guy? Or was that another Fox talking head?

FTFY
astronaut_slothThe US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, has been accused by historians and rights campaigners of “grotesque stupidity”
I see they were being kind to him.
I literally don’t know a single veteran or service member who either respects him or even just likes him. Literally 100% across the board disdain. There’s got to be at least a couple who have positive views of him in the DoD, but no one I’ve met or worked with…
ExtremeDullardThe last time Nazis were in Normandy, they didn’t give speeches.
He spoke at the biggest antifa celebration in the world. By Trump logic he is now a terrorist.

Well, he could not really talk about American heroes fighting Nazis, could he?
His boss would certainly not approve.
So he doesn’t want them in the U.S. but he doesn’t like them elsewhere either? Dude, stop projecting your racism onto other people. Just because you are a dingbat bigot doesn’t mean anyone is or wants to be.
Much of the French military in World War II were foreigners. The French Expeditionary Corps was composed mainly of Algerians and Moroccans. It was this unit which broke through the Gustav Line in the Battle of Monte Cassino. Then there were the Senegalese Tirailleurs. The British military had Indians and the Gurkhas from Nepal.
He’s just a fool. He’s a TV anchor ffs.
