I cannot stress enough what a watershed moment it is to see Hegseth bringing Camp of the Saints into the discourse in support of his position. It's really hard to overstate how vile that book is.

Hegseth directly evoking “Camp of the Saints”, the white supremacist hate manual that Bannon has hate in his stump speeches for more than a dozen years; the book also says that South Asian immigrants literally eat human shit and should be rounded up in cages. So that’s what you can expect next.

Hegseth at Normandy:
"Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria. Boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not."
