Protection Secretary Pete Hegseth doesn’t suppose colour or gender issues within the navy—until you’re transgender.
“Black, white, male, female, it doesn’t matter. We are going to be COLOR-BLIND and MERIT-BASED warfighters,” the previous Fox Information host stated in a speech at Fort Bragg on Thursday.
The assertion got here as a stark distinction to transgender navy members dealing with the choice of leaving their positions or being compelled out of service by the Trump administration.
After all, Hegseth—a person who can’t even do his new job with out a make-up studio—signed off on the navy combing by service members’ private medical data to establish transgender individuals who haven’t chosen to return ahead about their identification.
Earlier this month, Hegseth gave the all clear for the Pentagon to begin eradicating as many as 1,000 brazenly transgender folks.
“No More Trans @ DoD,” Hegseth bragged in a put up on X after the Supreme Court docket sided with President Donald Trump’s transgender navy ban.
In a separate interview, reported by Related Press, Hegseth added, “No more pronouns. No more dudes in dresses. We’re done with that shit.”
Hegseth, who needed to promise to kick his alleged booze behavior to get his present job, has a knack for calling transgender folks (and ladies) unfit for navy service. In response to him, they negatively impression the “lethality” of the job.
Then once more, this mirror appears to be reflecting proper again at him.
By way of “lethality,” Hegseth has managed to share labeled warfare plans in not one, however two group chats on third-party app Sign. The TV host-turned secretary of Protection has shared assault plans with the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, his private lawyer, his brother, and his spouse. Extra so, Hegseth can’t even hold his personal workforce comfortable. Staffers are working to the media to lift the alarm about what’s occurring at nighttime—making Hegseth threaten polygraphs throughout the board.
However, hey, transgender persons are the issue.
