'This will certainly strike fear into our enemies': Fury over Navy's first 'digital ambassador' - non-binary drag queen Harpy Daniels who was appointed to attract new recruits amid crisis
Daily Mail UK ^ | May 3, 2023 | Jennifer Smith

The Navy's appointment of a non-binary drag queen as its first 'digital ambassador' has sparked fury, disbelief and mockery of the Department of Defense.

Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, whose stage name is Harpy Daniels, announced on TikTok in November that she would be the Navy's first 'digital ambassador,' highlighting her journey from performing on board beginning in 2018 and growing to become an 'advocate' for those who 'were oppressed for years in the service.'

On her new deleted Instagram page, she listed her pronouns as 'she/her' but also called herself non-binary.

While Kelley's appointment is not new, and she is not the only digital ambassador (she is one of five), her role has only recently attracted criticism.

Many have compared her to Dylan Mulvaney, the trans activist whose association with Bud Light sparked a PR crisis for the brand and sent sales plummeting.

Now, some veterans and conservatives are slamming the Navy for trying to solve a recruiting crisis by appointing a drag queen.

Kelley has a large following on TikTok where she has been sharing videos of her drag performances on-board Navy ships for years.

If the chicoms had installed saboteurs inside the DOD to demoralize our military what would they be doing any differently?

If the Russians or Chinese landed an army I’d be tempted to view them as liberators

Whoever imagined the day when we'd wish we were under Russian rule. At least they know how to deal with perversion, open borders, and muslims.

The leadership in this country is stark raving mad. Just insane. How in the world did we get to this so quickly?

The DEVIL has hijacked our military.

Michael Obama approves. It's Obama who ramped up this evil.

FUBO.

“My body my choice”......guess that doesn’t extend to mandatory requirement for covid shots to get into and stay in the military.

Just goes to show the level of lunacy

When I was in the Marine Corps back in the early 1980s, male Marines would get drummed out of the service just for wearing women's clothing.

Can't believe how much things have changed in a relatively short time.

Ultimately it is/was societal complacency that allowed all of this to occur. Obama was a symptom of a much larger disease - societal decay and decadence.

It was Iran that accused the US of being “The Great Satan”.

They must feel very vindicated these days.

This is another attempt by the Biden administration to further weaken our military for China’s gain. I want to know is this administration truly insane or are they purposely trying to weaken America’s defenses?

Iran does transgender surgery. Iran is second only to Thailand.

In Iran it’s illegal to be homosexual so they “cure” it by making them opposite sex.

I’ll bet the navy used the same ad agency as butt lite did.

There’s only one legal way of dealing with this before it’s too late.

MTG knows what it is. She’s got the right thing all written up and ready to go. Just a matter of persuading some of the Communists in the House.

I never thought I would live long enough to see The Village People singing In the Navy as a step towards sanity in military recruitment.
