BLUMENTHAL: PETE HEGSETH LEADS TRUMP'S EXTREME NOMINEES

It is now clear that warmongers, xenophobes, white nationalists, and far-right provocateurs will fill the incoming administration of US President-elect Donald Trump.

It's pretty difficult to identify the worst cabinet pick. However, in this video, The Grayzone's (@thegrayzonenews) founder and editor-in-chief, @maxblumenthal, gave that title to Trump's Defense Secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.

Aside from being a Zi*nist who has justified the 76-year Israeli occupation of Palestine, Blumenthal said Hegseth seems to be competing to be Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's 'Shabbos Goy,' a non-Jew who works on Sabbath on behalf of an observant Jew.

Hegseth has also defended US soldiers' war crimes against civilians where the US military has occupied, such as Afghanistan and Iraq.

In his 2020 book, ‘American Crusade: Our Fight to Stay Free,’ Hegseth stated that 'Next to the communist Chinese and their global ambitions, Islamism is the most dangerous threat to freedom in the world. It cannot be negotiated with, coexisted with, or understood; it must be exposed, marginalised, and crushed.'

Considering all this, it becomes increasingly clear why Hegseth may be Trump's worst cabinet pick.
