The nominee for US secretary of defense has a slew of religiously inspired tattoos that have drawn attention as Hegseth’s public vetting for a position in Trump’s cabinet has begun.

Hegseth, who has been a co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend” for the better part of a decade, has used the show to highlight his views about the US military. He has railed against the Pentagon’s adoption of “social justice” messages and argued that “woke” policies have hurt military recruitment.

The Fox News host has claimed he didn’t wash his hands for 10 years, sported questionable body art, cheated with a Fox producer and wants women out of combat roles.
