Donald Trump’s pick to be secretary of the Navy has said some crazy things.
The Pentagon confirmed that failed congressional candidate and current undersecretary of the Navy Hung Cao would be replacing John Phelan, who was abruptly fired on Wednesday. It’s an appalling move, given that Cao once made a poor joke about the KKK in an interview with Steve Bannon.
“I know I’ll be attacked by the left, and call me a white supremacist, but I have one ask for them, it’s just than when you give my hood, make sure it’s got the little slits and not the circles so I can see better,” Cao said on Real America’s Voice during his failed 2024 campaign for Senate.
Revoke his Asian card.
New name: Hank Cow.
So he’s saying that the left is going to call him a white supremacist and he’s owning it? He sounds proud of it. His name is Hung Cao? This is another leopards at my face waiting to happen. Also seems like he’s stealing some valor.
Cao has also claimed in multiple interviews that he was “shot at” and “blown up” while serving in the Navy, and and has “scars,” describing himself as “100% disabled,” but his service record doesn’t show him receiving a Purple Heart, which is given to service members who have been seriously injured by enemy fire, or the Navy’s Combat Action Ribbon. When USA Today asked him about his service record in 2024, he issued an angry statement.
“I want to give you all a window into what it’s like being a combat veteran who had the gall to run for public office against a career politician. Any veteran will read this with the same disgust. Imagine being asked to provide documentation of the dates and times Al Qaeda shot at you. Imagine being asked, if you’re a disabled veteran, why don’t you have a Purple Heart?” Cao posted.
Edit: Could this be PTSD?
Man theyre really scraping that barrel
It gets worse:
“There’s a place in Monterey, California called Lover’s Point. The original name was Lovers of Christ Point. Now it’s become, they took out the Christ. It’s Lover’s Point. And it’s really, Monterrey is a dark place now, a lot of witchcraft and the Wiccan community has really taken over there,” Cao said.
His comments came in a 2023 interview with Sean Feucht, a far-right pastor who railed against COVID restrictions and wokeness.
“We can’t let that happen to Virginia,” Cao warned. “Virginia, I mean, especially down in Roanoke, they’re gun-loving people. Richmond, too, and in Virginia Beach, and we just need to mobilize Christians across the nation.”

Sigh. I’m not sure who irritates me more - the dumbass Karens that were having meltdowns over social distancing and masks (and then later, the vaccine) or people still talking about “woke” unironically.
