Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense has spoken out against claims that his tattoos are symbols of white supremacy, calling the criticism “anti-Christian bigotry.”
Pete Hegseth, a longtime Fox News host and war veteran, sports a large Jerusalem Cross on his chest and the Latin inscription Deus Vult, which translates to “God wills it.”
Both symbols date to the Christian crusades in Middle East, and are considered by some to be common images in Christian symbology.
