(SOCOM announced his selection the same week it unveiled a diversity and inclusion plan with a vision to not only recruit more women and people of color, but to retain them and support them with the goal of diversifying the special operations community’s leadership.)

Richard Torres-Estrada, the first-ever chief diversity and inclusion officer for the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), has been allowed to return to his duties this week after being investigated over past social media posts, including one comparing then-President Donald Trump to Hitler.

“Mr. Torres-Estrada has resumed the duties of the Chief of Diversity & Inclusion for United States Special Operations Command after a USSOCOM commander-directed investigation into the circumstances surrounding his hiring concluded and found no violations of law or DoD regulation,” SOCOM spokesman Ken McGraw told Military Times on Thursday.

SOCOM announced Torres-Estrada’s hiring for the new command role in a March tweet. Within hours of the announcement, social media users began taking note of his past social media posts.

In a June 2020 Facebook post, Torres-Estrada shared a digitally-altered photo of Hitler holding a bible at a rally in Nazi Germany, next to a photo of Trump holding a bible outside the St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington D.C., which rioters set fire to last summer.

I don't know about your gaydar, but mine is pegged!

His Trump/Hitler comment was made before he was hired so all is well apparently.

Cancel culture doesn't apply to perverts.

I must have missed Donald Trump starting a war that cost 10’s of millions of lives. Meanwhile obama and Biden started several with over a million dead in Syria and Libya and they support the muslim brotherhood who was aligned with Hitler in WW2.

This fool has no place in the US military. He needs to be transferred to the Chinese or Russian militaries.

comparing then-President Donald Trump to Hitler>>>>>

The left hate The Donald badly.

He is a threat to their Unconstitutional Socialist Utopia.

And so we must bring the win again for America First, and post guys like this to North Alaska.

Or even better the SOG lads can take him along on an op. He won’t return.

His mother is just the super greatest special woman in his life, bar none. He loves to trade recipes with friends instead of that messy old fishing. He took the community college night class in flowers and their arrangement. And he adores Judy Garland.

If that's anything to go on.

I’ll tell you what, I’ll compare Donald Trump to Hitler. Donald Trump is nothing at all like Hitler. I can’t say that for the hyperbolic lying fool by the name of Richard Torres-Estrada.

This diversity guy will be screening SOCOM applicants.

SOCOM includes the Navy SEALS, Army Special Forces, Army Rangers and other Special OP warriors.

This is pure insanity, but not unexpected with this evil regime.
