During Hegseth’s confirmation hearings, Warren, who for years claimed she was a Native American, until DNA proved her to be a liar, sent him an extensive letter, in which, among other issues, she expressed concern about his "Deus Vult" tattoo.
"You were also removed from President Biden’s inauguration because of concerns that you were an insider threat after reports that your ‘Deus Vult’ tattoo’ was a Christian expression associated with right-wing extremism.’ We cannot have a Defense Secretary whose fellow servicemembers feel concerned enough about to report as a potential insider threat."
Of course, this was totally ridiculous. Although a few far-right groups have commandeered the phrase, "Deus Vult" is simply a Latin phrase meaning "God wills it." Historically, it was used as a rallying cry by Christian Crusaders in the 11th century. In modern times, it has been adopted by various groups, including some Christian organizations, as a statement of God’s divine purpose.
But that wasn’t the end of it. During a hearing in June, Duckworth went off script on another bizarre tangent and accused Hegseth of "blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily, I didn’t end up with a questionable tattoo."
Well, Well, Well. Isn't it strange that after raising hell about Hegseth’s Christian tattoos, you can now hear a pin drop on the Democrat side of the aisle concerning one of their candidates who is sporting a Nazi tattoo?
Graham Platner is the Democrats' choice to run against Rhino Senator Susan Collins in Maine. Backed by Bernie Sanders, Platner now presents a real problem for Democrats. It seems he also has a tattoo, only his was a skull-and-crossbones image. The symbol is known as the Totenkopf (German for "death's head") and was used by the Nazi SS.
