Hegseth Praises Military Integration, But Biden Aide Says He Sounds Like An Old Segregationist!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

"The integration of the military racially was a huge success. -- Pete Hegseth

Sure sounds a lot like George Wallace circa 1963, doesn't it?? Hegseth might as well have been barring the Pentagon's door!

That is, if you believe Kate Bedingfield, Biden's former communications director, now spinning wildly on DEI as a CNN commentator!

Today's CNN This Morning began a segment on Trump's changes to the military with a clip of Hegseth during his confirmation process making a statement that included the line above in praise of the racial integration of the military.

Bedingfield bizarrely cast Hegseth as the modern equivalent of a segregationist from back in the day:

"It's striking to me, if you listen to what the clip we just saw of Pete Hegseth saying integrating the military racially was successful, but what we're talking about now is different. There are real differences. If you took that sound bite, and you took it back to 1940, he would sound like people who are arguing against the racial integration of the military."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

There’s nothing these liberals won’t distort and turn on its head for their purposes.

Your primary goal is to defeat the enemy. NOT dwelling on up coming cosmetic surgery to alter government property.

Biden aide?

What is that?

An occupational therapist? Home health aide?

If a conservative says something a liberal would normally agree with, the conservative must have meant the opposite.

Long time ago, I happened to be switching channels and just happened to catch the black newscaster on SNL giving out prank news. He editorialized that MAGA reminded him of Jim Crow. He did not mention that Jim Crow reminded him of democrats.

and nothing the “irrelevant party” can say that matters. remember friends, b.obama said “ we won. you lost. elections have consequences”. here’s enjoying their consequences to the fullest.

I would say.

Biden aide.

Sooner than people think, any association with Biden will be seen as something extremely detrimental

Picture the troll โ€œwhat is your quest? What is your fair itโ€™s color? Blue. No!โ€ฆgreen!!โ€

โ€˜Do you have any association with the former fake Biden administration?โ€™

โ€œYesโ€ฆno!โ€

I didn’t see it but I’m guessing they’re talking about “transexuals”.

But there’s a big difference being black and being “transexual” since being black is perfectly normal while being “transexual” is perverted, a “crime” against nature.

Blacks don’t need hormones and medical devices to remain black.
Trannies should be banned the same way diabetics are restricted.
Cannot send medically defective people into the battlefield because medication may not be a priority over wound care, food and ammo.
