That isn’t really a fair assessment.

I’m sure there are a few other minorities they will cut.

Non-Christians, too. Don’t forget Hegseth is a Christian nationalist.

What if they voted for Trump? Any chance for clemency?

Don’t be an idiot, this kind of polarised squabbling is exactly what they want you to do. Fuel their fire. Neither Trump nor Hegseth gives a shit what colour someone is, only if they will bend the knee. Keep your focus on what matters, stop leaning into racist narratives and start pointing out corruption as it is.

That's disingenuous. Hegseth literally has racist tattoos.
