U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth attended the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landings on Saturday, June 6, and delivered a controversial speech that drew a comparison between the 1944 Allied invasion and the arrival of migrants on Europe’s shores.
Per a report by the Associated Press, Hegseth spoke at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer in northwestern France, and told the audience that the continent now faces a different kind of threat.
