Historian and presenter Simon Schama on Pete Hegseth’s D-Day speech, quoted in The Guardian:
Hegseth’s remarks were a “special kind of loathsomeness: a blend of historical deafness, grotesque stupidity and comically ludicrous self-importance”.
“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.”
