Who says the phrase “has been used by white supremacists?” The AP offers no evidence. Someday I would like to meet one of these white supremacists; if you take the liberal press seriously, they must be everywhere, giving hand signals, getting tattoos, doing who knows what. All of which, evidently, the rest of us are expected to keep track of and slavishly avoid.
Actually, “Deus vult,” “God wills it” in Latin (also, “Deus lo vult”), has long been a Christian rallying cry. It goes back to the First Crusade. Nearly 1,000 years old, it has nothing to do with white supremacy.
What the AP and the Democrats really don’t like is that Hegseth exhibits a symbol of Christianity; not only that, of the Church Militant. Christians, to the extent they are admitted into polite society, are expected to keep quiet about their faith. Like Unitarians and Episcopalians.
The AP reveals its real agenda with this editorial paragraph inserted into its “news” story:
The second attack on Hegseth relates to an alleged sexual assault that supposedly happened in 2017. Once again, we will let the
Associated Press be the Democrats’ mouthpiece:
In evaluating the credibility of the charge, the first question is, who is the woman who asserts it? Oh, that’s right: we don’t know.
So this is an anonymous accusation, made seven years after the fact, by an unknown woman who is now violating a nondisclosure agreement, undoubtedly for political reasons.
Hegseth denies any impropriety, apart from the fact that he did indeed sleep with the anonymous woman. He says he was drunk and she was sober, and she initiated the encounter. Local police looked into it and did not bring any charges. Hegseth says he paid the woman a small amount at the height of the “Me Too” hysteria to avoid damage to his career at Fox News.
