Pete Hegseth breaks silence on controversy over his tattoo: ‘Anti-Christian bigotry’
Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, defended his “Deus Vult” tattoo amidst criticism, calling it “anti-Christian bigotry.” The controversy arose from an AP report mentioning a service member flagging the tattoo as a potential “insider threat.” Hegseth, supported by JD Vance, vowed to end such targeting of Christians and conservatives at the Department of Defense.
