Lawyer and civil rights activist Maya Wiley appeared on MSNBC, where she was allowed to not only slander Donald Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee, Pete Hegseth, but they also allowed her to spread blatant, fear mongering lies.
Wiley accused Hegseth of having “white supremacist” tattoos all over his body, which isn’t true. She said, “Let’s remember, like when we’re talking about the secretary here… his white supremacist extremist tattoos on his body…”

Hegseth should sue the sh*t out of these people.

The longtime Fox News has and war veteran has a large Jerusalem Cross on his chest, as well as the Latin inscription Deus Vult, which translates to “God wills it.” Both tattoos are common Christian symbols that date back to the Christian crusades in the Middle East.
“Anti-Christian bigotry in the media on full display. They can target me — I don’t give a damn — but this type of targeting of Christians, conservatives, patriots and everyday Americans will stop on DAY ONE at DJT’s DoD,” Hegseth posted to X on Friday.
This was in response to vice President-elect JD Vance slamming an AP report, “They’re attacking Pete Hegseth for having a Christian motto tattooed on his arm. This is disgusting anti-Christian bigotry from the AP, and the entire organization should be ashamed of itself.”
Amen @JDVance. Anti-Christian bigotry in the media on full display.
They can target me — I don’t give a damn — but this type of targeting of Christians, conservatives, patriots and everyday Americans will stop on DAY ONE at DJT’s DoD. https://t.co/TCZVWsxEAS

In addition to the “white supremacist” accusations, Wiley also spread fear-mongering lies when she claim that Trump will use Hegseth to send the military to “police US citizens” using Project 2025.
She declared, “He is also a person if he is in this job, who will be having the discussion with Donald Trump about sending the military into communities to police US citizens.”
Not only has Donald Trump completely denounced Project 2025 and distanced himself from it, but the think tank that DID create it has also stated that Trump is not involved.
