A New Crusade? Trump Taps Christian Nationalists Pete Hegseth & Mike Huckabee to Top Posts



Concerns are mounting over Trump's pick to lead the Pentagon, Fox News host and military veteran Pete Hegseth. Hegseth is a vocal opponent of the military's multiculturalism and decision to allow women to serve in combat, promises to purge the military of generals disloyal to Trump and sports tattoos connected with neo-Nazi and white nationalist movements. "Here's a man who wrote a book declaring his intention to wage, not metaphorical, but actual war within the United States," says Jeff Sharlet, an expert on the rise of far-right extremism in the United States. Sharlet explains how Hegseth and Mike Huckabee, Trump's choice for U.S. ambassador to Israel, have Christian nationalist and Christian Zionist views that ultimately work to whip up animosity toward domestic enemies of the far right.
