US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used his remarks at a D-Day anniversary event in France on Saturday to call on European countries to confront an "invasion" of immigrants. D-Day marks the 1944 Normandy landings that laid the foundations for the Allied defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.

Using a memorial for the fight against fascism to pivot to modern border politics is a profound category error. Hegseth D-Day Immigration Remarks Evidence: honor D-Day sacrifice, hijack legacy for politics, preserve historical memory

The reality is the instrumentalization of a solemn anti-fascist memorial to push a localized, partisan anti-immigrant narrative, distorting history. Resulting Judgement: (-0.5, -1.0) — Lesser Evil

Verdict: FAIL — The Path of Deception. Equating desperate civilian migration with a literal Nazi military invasion cheapens the actual sacrifice of the soldiers who died storming Normandy.

Many in America are utterly disgusted as well. I’m a retired military member. My father served our country for over 25 years, to include spending three years in Italy, Sicily, and North Africa during WWII. I can’t begin to convey my disgust and sadness.

Americans living up to their arrogant, ignorant reputation spectacularly. Allies fought fascists & racists who were armed with bullets,bombs & gas Chambers. Immigrants are largely fleeing famine & war. This human stain violated the sacredness of honouring those brave ppl who fought for freedom

Hegseth, with his ancestors is an 'immigrant "HIMSELF"'! The real invasion attempt's his toxic zombie "NAZI SMELLING" ideology his government desperately tries to spread to the earth if his garbage government manages to poison USA with it which will NEVER HAPPEN!! IMPEACH NAZI HEGSETH&GOVERNMENT!!

This person and his comments are disgraceful. Why is this moron representing USA? Why do we have a Moron in charge? The hatred in this administration is frightening. This is not democracy.

Wait, he's saying: Allies = Immigrant Hordes, and Nazis = Us? Rhetorically, it doesn't really make sense unless you're trying to associate with the Nazis. If I wanted to make his argument, I would not make this comparison.

He even misquoted Reagan: "Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction." Instead of saying "It is not ours by inheritance...." he said, "You don't pass it to the next generation in the bloodstream." The invocation of blood is a white supremacist dog whistle.

Those words have been scrubbed from the "Dept of War" website, under the title "Remarks by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at the 81st D-Day Landings Anniversary in Normandy American Cemetery (As Delivered)." The entire Reagan remark was removed from the text.

The Germans had to fight the enemy within - fellow Germans who had subscribed to the false narrative that anyone different must be bad different. Immigrants weren't their problem. Their inhumanity was.

He wasnt missing the point. He was using the stage, to show what the US's stated, official new foreign policy for Europe is: promoting far right, fascist, nazi parties and 'ideas'

With his dispatching warships to destabilize small and peaceful Carribean islands, particularly Jamaica, the Secretary of War, and an enemy of peace,will soon invite a call from Xi Jinping.

He is right, sort of. I mean, look at what happened to the native Americans when their beaches were stormed. And Hegseth, he is from Norwegian descend. O, those immigrants! Send them back, send Hegseth back to Norway (poor Norway).

What an ignoramus... Europe is a far safer country than the US has become under the Trump administration...they seem to think by repeatedly spouting disinformation that people will believe it. They're an embarrassment

If the brave soldiers buried in the Normandy American Cemetery had awaken to hear this speech, they would have thought that Germany won the war. Hitler vilified immigrants and foreigners as the “Fifth Column” threatening Western culture. This speech dishonors their memory.
