New US Defence Secretary Once Chanted “Kill All Muslims”: Report – Quds News Network
Washington (Quds News Network) – New U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been accused of chanting “Kill All Muslims” at a bar in Ohio in May 2015, according to a report by The New Yorker. The accusations also include allegations of sexual misconduct.
A former Fox News personality, military veteran, and conspiracy theorist, Hegseth has been confirmed as the next US defence secretary following a narrow Senate vote that was broken by a tiebreaker cast by Vice President JD Vance.
Last month, The New Yorker magazine published the details of a previously undisclosed whistleblower report on Hegseth’s tenure as the president of Concerned Veterans for America from 2013 to 2016.
In addition to accusations of sexual misconduct, there are claims regarding creating a toxic work environment and being intoxicated while performing official duties. Hegseth is also alleged to have drunkenly chanted, “Kill All Muslims! Kill All Muslims!” at the bar in Ohio during the early hours of May 29, 2015.
When confronted during a Senate Committee on Armed Services confirmation hearing on January 14, Hegseth labeled the accusations as “anonymous false claims.” However, US Democratic Senator Tim Kaine highlighted that many of the allegations were not made anonymously.
During the same hearing, Hegseth was asked whether he supported Israel’s military operations against Gaza. He responded, “I support Israel destroying and killing every last member of Hamas,” aligning with the views expressed in his 2020 book, American Crusade, where he depicts Islam as the historic enemy of the West.
