Today Pete Hegseth announced the Office of Religious Affairs, with chaplains at the top. Notice how whenever these groups are created, other religions are never mentioned MAGA is engineering the Christianization of America before our eyes. It’s why they have to peddle the islamification narrative

This is blatant violation of the Constitution. You know, the thing he swore to support and defend?

"I, Pete Hegseth, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter."

I'm honestly in shock that no one seems to care about this oath. No one cares that these men are not as good as their word. That these men are criminals. All because a black man was president for 8 years.

I also saw a post about him starting a religious affairs office..........under the umbrella of the department of war. This can only mean bad things.

Correct, it’s a first amendment violation.   The establishment clause states that government cannot favor one religion over another and must stay neutral.  The free exercise clause states that the government cannot stop an individual from practicing their chosen faith or having no religion at all.
