Hegseth gets caught killing promotions for Black and women officers because racist Trump doesn't want to stand next to them! Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotion of four highly qualified Army officers to one-star general and – surprise surprise – two of them are Black and two of them women. Senior military officials are now openly questioning whether race and gender are the real reasons. The officers were on a standard promotion list of about three dozen mostly white men. Hegseth had been pressuring Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll for months to remove their names, citing vague concerns. Driscoll repeatedly refused, pointing to their decades of exemplary service. Hegseth finally overruled him and unilaterally struck the four names from the list. This comes after reports that a top Hegseth aide told Driscoll that “President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events” – specifically objecting to Maj. Gen. Antoinette R. Gant, a combat engineer who has served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, being given command of the Military District of Washington. Hegseth has repeatedly said he wants to reverse “woke” policies he claims discriminate against white officers, but this heavy-handed scrutiny of female and minority officers is politicizing what is supposed to be a merit-based, apolitical promotion system and is eroding trust inside the military. If Pentagon Pete showing clear bias against qualified Black and female officers to please the racist-in-chief, please like and share.
