Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Monday defended the Biden administration's military wake policy to defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, expressing concern that he would reverse the policy if approved. He sent a 33-page rant.
In a letter sent to Hegseth and made public on Tuesday, Warren, who lied on her education application about race, cited Hegseth's Marxist-based views on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and opposition to military awakening. expressed concern. He will actually be implementing President-elect Donald Trump's policies at the Pentagon.
For example, in a portion of her letter subtitled “Threats to Diversity in the Military,” she quotes Bishop Garrison, the Biden Pentagon's senior adviser to the Secretary of Defense for human capital and DEI, to promote DEI. defended.
she wrote:
A Department of Defense official stated:[d]Diversity, Equity, and Military Inclusion are Essential to America” and “[t]To remain competitive, the military must be able to attract, train, and engage military personnel. ”
…
You claimed, “The stupidest statement on the planet in the military is 'Our diversity is our strength.'” As stated above, you also called for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the “removal of the generals involved.” Generals, admirals, and whatever else was involved in DEI's woke misdeeds…” Additionally, in War with the Warriors, you state that “woke militaries are built on the fabricated military values of “diversity and inclusion.'' “It emphasizes the perspective,” he complained. And we are failing to recruit the manly men who make up our warrior class. ”
She also expressed concern about President Trump's plans to reverse renaming military bases, such as reverting Fort Liberty to Fort Bragg, and said Hegseth “appears to be on board with that plan.” Ta.
Warren told Hegseth: “Despite the naming commission's bipartisan support and collaboration with local communities to make these recommendations, military properties named after Confederate soldiers remain unrecognized. Do you support reinstatement?'' and dozens of other questions. “Do you think it's wrong for military personnel to belong to white supremacist or extremist groups like the Proud Boys or the Oath Keepers?” If not, why? ”
He also asked if he intended to implement the recommendations of the Biden administration's Counter-Extremism Task Force. The task force was created by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, but was ultimately disbanded after it found fewer than 100 acts of extremism among the 2.1 million service members.
She also regurgitated anonymously sourced slurs in mainstream media coverage and attempted to repopulate the false claim that Hegseth's tattoos are connected to white supremacy, but a Breitbart News investigation found that , which turned out to be a lie started by far-left veteran Travis Akers. Campaigned for Kamala Harris.
She also expressed concern that President Trump might actually fire woke generals, as he said he would, and fire the generals involved in the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.
And she attacked Hegseth for defending military personnel who are forced to make snap judgments in the “fog of war” and appear to be siding with enemy combatants rather than U.S. service members.
She also criticized his support for traditional American values such as the right to bear arms, saying he “spreads conspiracy theories and makes claims devoid of reality.”
She also accused Hegseth of using “military terminology” when talking about reforming the U.S. education system.
Warren asked Hegseth to provide a written response by Jan. 10 and come to the confirmation hearing prepared to discuss it.
Hegseth is scheduled to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee on January 14, after which the committee will vote on whether to nominate him to the full Senate.
Senate Minority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota) reportedly told the Trump transition team that Hegseth had the votes to be confirmed as his nominee for defense secretary.
