These assholes aren't Confederate apologists. They are literally Confederates, when they're not simply Nazis. They want to bring back the 1850s. But with cellphones. How are people still struggling to see the depth of their depravity?
That's why they were all elected: to support the Lost Cause, to make sure the racist South would rise again against it's enemy the United States of America.
When Nixon got in he brought the segregationist democrats with him. They raised a generation of white supremacists. We now have elected them to the highest office in the land. Hegseth is just part of that.
He was a governor. He wasn't giving up that lucrative job. He did renounce his segregationist stand in the 70s. The rank and file and their leaders like Falwell left the party and became republicans.
You need to study history more closely. Thurmond switched because he was a segregationist. Byrd disavowed segregation and Fulbright, who voted against the voting rights act in 65 voted for its extension in 1970. The Nixon southern strategy was a real thing.
Indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists you need to worry about, not someone from another country, they're right in your backyard, running multi-billion dollar corporations, and holding office.
Your oppression is their profession
I don’t find it strange that a Trump nominee would be an apologist for a group that took an oath to their country then completely dishonoured it by committing treason. He will rename military bases after the oath breakers. Because an oath means nothing to them. Ideology and expediency first.
Minnesotan Hegseth pisses on the graves of Minnesota's Union Civil War soldiers. (I had 4 direct ancestors in Lincoln's armies, including 2 from Minnesota.) At Gettysburg, the 1st MN's charge saved day 2. 87% of them got shot at least once. Limitless valor. Hegseth sh*ts upon their efforts.
Apologist (n): someone who speaks or writes in defense of someone or something that is typically controversial, unpopular, or subject to criticism E.g., "critics said he was an apologist for colonialism"
Koch's recruited him, provided a vet charity to give him legitimacy which the board booted him, then Koch's started another Vets group for Pete, which also booted Pete for being a douche. Then The Koch's landed Pete his Fox News CELEBRITY gig.

Are you ignorant of the fact that George Wallace ran?
Many of those "segregationist democrats" stayed Democrats until they croaked.
He wasn't governor when he ran.
No, they didn't.
Byrd, Faubus, Fulbright, and many others stayed democrats for the rest of their lives.
Strom Thurmond was one of the few high-profile party switchers.
Some moderated their views, others didn't, but they stayed true to the Democrat party.
