A group of 14 Republican senators wrote a letter Wednesday to Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro asking why the Navy enlisted a 'TikTok drag queen' to beef up recruitment numbers.
Sens. Ted Cruz, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio and others told Del Toro that 'we are concerned about both the promotion of a banned app and behavior that many deem inappropriate in a professional workplace.'
Their letter follows media coverage this week of how Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley had been named a 'Digital Ambassador' for the Navy as part of a pilot program that started in November and ran through March.
Kelley goes by stage name 'Harpy Daniels' and has a strong following on social media, including TikTok, with 60,800 followers and 1.3 million likes. Kelley is also on Instagram with nearly 9,000 followers.
In the videos, Kelley often starts out in uniform, and then reappears as Harpy Daniels. The non-binary drag queen dances and often shares an inspirational message about being an LGBTQ+ sailor.
In the letter, the Republicans first took issue with the Navy seemingly endorsing TikTok, with the choice of Kelley as a 'Digital Ambassador.'
They pointed to the No TikTok on Government Devices Act, which President Joe Biden signed into law in December, and which bars the app from being downloaded onto U.S. government devices due to its Chinese owner.
'The bottom line is that the Navy should not be promoting use of TikTok, an app banned on Department devices, on the personal devices of servicemembers or its "ambassadors,"' the letter stated.
The Republicans then moved on to the Navy's choice to make a drag queen a 'Digital Ambassador.'

Waste of time.
There are so many big issues of constitutional size like the current invasion.
This is just more Alinsky.
Keep people tripped up on trivia
True, they should complain, but I wonder how many of them secretly think it’s pretty cool.
The Navy is run by Chinese Communist Party spies
Probably most of them.
What’s to complain about; the Navy upgraded a perverted tranny to admiral. Rachael Levine is a tranny Admiral and had set the mode to try and make sailors out of any weirdo who will enlist. Navy bought it now let them live with it.
A Navy that seeks to recruit lunatics is hardly trivial. Imagine being crew on a ship where sexual assaults are likely.

Yet, in our skedaddle, the LGBTQ flag still flew high from our new Kabul embassy.
A George Floyd mural was prominent on city streets.
And gender studies programs—to the tune of $787 million in American subsidies—were showcased at Kabul University, in one of the most conservative Islamic countries in the world.
Rainbow flags and Black Lives Matter banners have hung from our embassy in South Korea.
Such partisan cultural activism is a diplomatic first.
The woke Left has now weaponized the country’s diplomatic missions abroad to advance highly partisan and controversial agendas that can offend their hosts, and do not represent the majority of American voters at home.
“All republicans should complain”
Wonder how many of them are gay. All of the supportive attention to the non-standard genders makes me think that there are a lot of them and they’re becoming belligerent, imitating the black activists.
what if i want to go into the military to get away from all that crappola? now what?
Yuppers

We circle the Drain.
Never ask questions of liars.
Demand the resignation of the Secretary of the Navy for treason.
Mary Tyler Moore could “make a man out of you!” in this 1976 TV program MARY’S INCREDIBLE DREAM. Wait till she comes out in her dark green suit! WOW! I still remember it! At about the 4:38 minute point...

The tranny admiral is NOT a naval officer but a US Public Health officer. US Public Health officers are authorized to wear Navy like uniforms. One of the United States eight uniformed services.

I am sure it feeds the trannies ego to prance around in that uniform!
Oh no, the strongly worded letter! They are really trembling now!
With no conscience or soul, the democRATS can deem anything appropriate. Any ‘behavior’ with anyone or anything. And if it tears us apart, all the better.
This is the same Navy that wanted to use the Village People’s gay little disco song “In The Navy” to recruit young men. They didn’t learn their lesson, and now look at what’s going on.
Who knew this would be a problem after “don’t ask, don’t tell.” (Room full of 🤚 🤚 🤚)
she looked sofa king hot
What are they doing to attract rum afficionados and lash afficionados?
