Historians and campaigners accuse US defence secretary of desecrating memory of soldiers who fell in Normandy
The US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, has been accused by historians and rights campaigners of “grotesque stupidity” and desecrating the memory of the soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy after he sought to link immigration to the D-day anniversary, saying Europe was facing a different “invasion” of its shores.
Speaking in north-west France on Saturday to mark the 82nd anniversary of the D-day landings, Hegseth seized on the moment marking the wartime liberation of Europe to reiterate the US administration’s longstanding attack on European immigration policies.

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…
“Pete Hegseth
’s D-day speech on immigration%condemned as ‘grotesque stupidity’”FTFY
He can fuck right off
—daughter of a WWII combat veteran
Same
— grand son of a nazi
Just a piece of garbage
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?
That’s the health guy
Hegseth drinks his own piss
he was told there was a lot of alcohol in his piss
