Claimant: Social Media


Claim: 28 Democrats demanded an investigation after troops reported commanders promoting “end-times Christian fascism” to justify the Iran war.


Rating: MOSTLY TRUE


Explanation: Thirty Democrats requested the Defense Department inspector general investigate more than 200 complaints alleging commanders used biblical apocalyptic language to justify the Iran war and assess whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s rhetoric affected the military. However, the letter did not use the phrase “end-times Christian fascism,” and it was signed by 30 Democrats, not 28.
