When our Sec. of Defense was a Black guy, classified information was never sent to a reporter on a group chat.

I don't want to bring race into this, but since Pete Hegseth has been bringing in race into this from day one, let's compare shall we?

Black Sec. of Defense = Never sent classified information to a reporter.
White Sec. of Defense = Sent classified information to a reporter.

DEI 1
White Nationalists 0

[BOSSHOG]

1. The only reason the former top two leaders at DOD were fired

Is because they were black. Neither whom needed DEI to qualify for their jobs. Hegseth is a drunken, incompetent buffoon. Highly representative of his conservative community.

Race belongs in this argument. Republicans thrive on racism.

2. I'll take DEI over DUI any day.

Trump's attempted elimination of DEI is just affirmative action for mediocre white men. And Hogsbreath can't even qualify for mediocre.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. Hogsbreath is DEI

Drunk Every Instant.

3. Hegseth is not worthy of shining the shoes of Lloyd Austin or CQ Brown.

Both very accomplished. Hegseth is where he is because
1. He is a white male
2. He kisses trump's ass
3. He is a bigot

Those are the merits needed for this administration.

4. And the "great" job he did on Fox

Irony, today MTGs committee will be beating up NPR and PBS for being enemies of democracy.

[surfered]

5. That's right. This national security failure wasn't the fault of a black, gay woman.

This was done by all white dudes.

[Solomon]

6. I get what the post is getting at but I

don't like referring to Austin as DEI.

[Ocelot II]

8. He isn't. That's the point.

Not that there's anything wrong at all with DEI; but the Trumpers are misusing it to claim that unqualified Black (or women, LGBTQ, disabled, etc.) people get jobs that should have been given to white men. DEI isn't about preference; it's about access, but they don't understand that, or don't want to.
