Whiskey Pete Hegseth is a Fatuous Bastard ™
Pete Hegseth is a Fatuous Bastard™ because of his odious and insulting D-Day speech on Omaha Beach. Whiskey Pete used the occasion to rail about the ‘invasion’ of Europe by immigrants. An article from the Guardian:
Among the comments in the article about Hegseth and his remarks are these:
The remarks were swiftly condemned on social media. The English historian, author and television presenter Simon Schama described them as a “special kind of loathsomeness: a blend of historical deafness, grotesque stupidity and comically ludicrous self-importance”.
Schama added: “As if the little people’s rage against immigration somehow is superior to the war against the 3rd Reich and entitles this comic book nobody to lecture the actual heroes.”
‘Comic book nobody’ is about as good a description as I’ve ever read about Hegseth.
The fact that Whiskey Pete delivered his D-Day screed on Omaha Beach below the U.S. military cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer — a sacred place to the military and its veterans, and to the French who lovingly maintain it, too — just compounds the felony.
The Fatuous Bastard™ award aims to recognize and celebrate all the incels and other assorted misfits who were stuffed in lockers in high school and never got over it, the overweening, overcompensating pseudo-intellectual fools who mistake a thesaurus for thought, the basement dwellers whose fingers are as orange as their hero, the . . . well, you get the idea.
