Europe being invaded by ‘dangerous ideologies,’ Hegseth warns in D-Day speech – POLITICO

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used a D-Day commemoration speech on Saturday to warn Europe about an invasion of “dangerous ideologies,” urging the continent to act against mass immigration.

Speaking on the 82nd anniversary of the June 6, 1944, Allied beach landings in Normandy, Hegseth said: “Sadly, today, different European beaches are ​stormed by different, dangerous ideologies — beaches in Spain, in Italy, in Greece and Bulgaria; boats and men arrive.”

“When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is ​it too late? I pray not, and I believe not,” Hegseth said in his speech at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer in northwestern France.
