'More dangerous than any': Op-ed warns terrifying aspect of Trump pick is being missed
Raw StoryThe most dangerous aspect lurking within President-elect Donald Trump's chosen Cabinet isn't what is garnering the most attention — and most people are unaware of it, an Atlantic columnist opined Thursday. "The man who emerges from the page appears to have sunk deeply into conspiracy theories that are bizarre even by contemporary Republican standards but that have attracted strangely little attention," Chait wrote. Chait details an alarming beliefs revealed in three "florid, explicit, and often terrifying" books written in the past four years; "American Crusade", "Battle for the American Mind", and "The War on Warriors". "The War on Warriors" urges readers to treat the American left like wartime enemies, Chait reported, noting "American Crusade" details how Hegseth feels they should be handled. "The main question I was looking to answer when I started reading Hegseth’s collected works was whether he would follow a Trump command to shoot peaceful protesters," Chait wrote.
