Trump's New Navy Secretary Previously Warned 'Witchcraft' Had 'Taken Over' a Californian City

Source: Mediaite

President Donald Trump’s new acting Navy secretary, Hung Cao, warned in 2023 that “witchcraft” had “taken over” the Californian city of Monterey.

Cao took over as acting secretary of the Navy this week after former secretary John Phelan was ousted from his position by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Following the news, clips from a several-year-old interview of Cao warning about witchcraft went viral on social media.




In 2023, during his unsuccessful run for the Senate in Virginia – which ended with his defeat by incumbent Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) – Cao claimed that witches had “taken over” the city of Monterey, California and removed a reference to Jesus Christ from the name of a costal area.

Pronounced “Hung Cow”.
I just heard a person on Hartmann, that has known him for years, and described him as a fundamentalist Christian, that does not drink like Hague-Seth, is very intelligent, making him
Much more dangerous than Pete. He wants an American Christian Nationalist country that is very close to Taliban rules. GQP is stacking all the most powerful roles with these warped Jesus beliefs and will mandate we follow their beliefs, and their beliefs only. Lead by Doctor Jesus and the Jesus billionaires……….correction, not LEAD by, RULED by.
Glad my Navy Service is over.

When they add Fundamental to religion as a belief, there are gaps in the brain.
And he supports KKK and their attire. Told Bannon he wanted slits for eye holes in his hood instead of round holes for better vision. How the hell does that tie to Jesus Teachings?
