Pete Hegseth will try to convince members of the Senate Armed Services Committee he should be the next secretary of defense .

His wide-ranging opinions could provide some insight into how he could approach the top Pentagon job if confirmed.

At times, he says he's been misconstrued, but other times he's tried to soften his previously stated views on contentious topics.

Hegseth was pulled from Washington National Guard duty during President Joe Biden's inauguration after he was flagged as a possible “ Insider Threat ” by a fellow service member due to a tattoo on his chest.

A fellow Guard member, who was on an anti-terrorism team at the time, shared with The Associated Press an email he sent to the unit’s leadership flagging a different tattoo on His bicep that's associated with white supremacist groups.
