Sen. Elizabeth Warren strongly suggested that there are concerns that Army veteran Pete Hegseth could be an “insider threat” due to his Christian tattoo and seethed over his crusade against woke military policies in a blistering missive to the defense secretary designee.
While outlining over 70 questions to Hegseth and giving him four days to reply, Warren made clear that she sees him as “unfit” to helm the Pentagon and teased a fiery showdown when he appears before the Senate Armed Services Committee next week.
“I am deeply concerned by the many ways in which your behavior and rhetoric indicates that you are unfit to lead the Department of Defense,” Warren, 75, wrote in the 33-page letter to Hegseth sent late Monday.
“Your confirmation as Secretary of Defense would be detrimental to our national security and disrespect a diverse array of servicemembers who are willing to sacrifice for our country.”
Strikingly, the Massachusetts Democrat latched onto dubious concerns about a Deus Vult tattoo on Hegseth’s bicep, a Latin phrase that translates to “God wills it.”
