👏 Normandy resident Chantal Richard, "He must be called out for who he is and the values he represents – colonial, warmongering, racist, far-right values." 💯
Residents joined him to blast Pete Hegseth during a D-Day commemoration, saying the values he represents have no place at an event honoring democracy.
Pete Hegseth traveled to Normandy for the 82nd anniversary of D-Day and was met with open hostility from residents of Langrune-sur-Mer.
Sylvie Lamy Thepaut: He has very warlike remarks, and it seems to us that he does not exactly share our values of democracy and freedom.
Before Hegseth arrived, the local group Langrune en Commun called for his visit to be canceled.
Langrune en Commun: This individual holds values contrary to democracy, human rights, and peace. This is evidenced by his numerous anti-European remarks.
The group also cited Hegseth's comments about the "parasitism of Europeans."
Chantal Richard: What's happening with the Trump administration isn't business as usual.
The criticism came as Hegseth arrived with his wife and six children and later used his speech to criticize European governments.
Showing up to honor the soldiers who fought for democracy and leaving with locals denouncing your values is a brutal indictment.
Like and Share if you support France calling out Hegseth with the TRUTH – even if it hurts his feelings!
