New Navy Secretary Candidate Asked for KKK Hood With Slits
During a failed 2024 Senate campaign, then-candidate Hung Cao controversially requested a KKK hood with “slits” for better visibility, anticipating attacks from the left. Cao has also made claims of being shot at and blown up during his Navy service, stating he is “100% disabled,” yet his service record lacks a Purple Heart or Combat Action Ribbon. When questioned by USA Today in 2024 about his service record, Cao responded with anger, deeming the requests for documentation of combat and disability proof as insulting to veterans.
