Eagle-eyed observers of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth tapestry of tattoos noticed a never-seen-before Arabic script underneath his arm.
Hegseth posted an image of himself doing jumping jacks and push-ups with Navy Seals at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Tuesday.
It comes as he is facing mounting pressure to resign after sharing detailed Yemen strike plans in a group text chat with other Trump officials on the Signal app.
Hegseth has brushed off the controversy, saying that the chat did not include classified information. Now, he is in Guam and Hawaii on a trip to visit U.S. troops.
The new tattoo revealed in the video features the Arabic word ‘kafir,’ which in the Quran means ‘disbeliever’ or ‘infidel’ and is inked below hegseth’s ‘Deus Vult’ tattoo.
The discovery sparked anger from activists who are already infuriated about his tattoos featuring Christian and American images.
