Pete Hegseth says that his lord and savior Jesus Christ has made him a changed man from what he was a few years ago, so that all the awful things he ever did don’t count against him any more. He gets a Christian Nationalist hall pass from Jesus, he says.

The truth is that Pete Hegseth was raised as a right wing Christian extremist. He has been a Christian Nationalist extremist his whole life. Pete Hegseth has been following the religion of Jesus Christ into violence, drunkenness, and a brutal vision of holy war the whole time.
