US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Saturday travelled to Normandy to commemorate the 82nd anniversary of the World War II D-Day landings.
But after making a speech at the American military cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, he conspicuously skipped afternoon’s main international ceremony marking the anniversary of the Allied landings, which helped herald the end of World War II.
His presence was not missed by some residents of the village hosting the ceremony, Langrune-sur-Mer, who said the US official was not welcome there.
“He has very warlike views and it seems to us that this man does not share our democratic values,” Sylvie Lamy Thepaut, a member of the municipal association Langrune en commun, told BFM TV.
He’s a neo-nazi. He’s a fucking disgrace to all the soldiers that landed on that beach to destroy the very movement he’s so proud to be a part of.
I can’t believe my great grandparents fought, suffered immensely, and died in that war for pieces of shit like him to still be squirming around like he’s welcome.
they’d be smiling to see him uninvited, at least.
And they’re more emboldened than ever. They’re making their faces public without shame. They rallying everywhere. Even up here in Canada. There was a demonstration in Shawinigan, Québec last week. They’re creating these underground “active clubs” where they work out and train in hand to hand combat. Some are enrolling in the army to get weapons training.
This shit is getting out of hand. We need to be creating associations like the Black Panthers against these freaks.
