Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Monday sent a 33-page rant to Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth defending the Biden administration’s woke policies in the military and expressing concern that he would reverse them if confirmed.
In a letter sent to Hegseth on Tuesday and made public, Warren — who lied on teaching applications about her race — expressed concerns about Hegseth’s views opposing Marxist-based diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and wokeness in the military, and concern that he would actually implement President-elect Donald Trump’s policies at the Pentagon.
For example, in one portion of the letter she subtitled: “Threats to Diversity in the Military,” she defended DEI, citing Bishop Garrison — the Biden Pentagon’s own senior advisor to the secretary of defense for human capital and DEI.(snip)
She also expressed concerns about Trump’s plans to reverse the renaming of military bases — such as changing Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg, and that Hegseth is “seemingly onboard with that plan.”
Warren included dozens of loaded questions to Hegseth, such as “Do you support reverting the names of military property named after confederate soldiers, despite the Naming Commission receiving bipartisan support and working with local communities to make these recommendations?” and “Do you believe it is wrong for servicemembers to affiliate with white supremacist or extremist groups, such as the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers? If not, why?”

Is Liz on the Warpath?
Damned straight! Restore the names of those military facilities!
As a Vet, I am sick and tired of the DEI and WOKEness that has infested the Military.
If (reporter) Kristina happens to agree with all this, she’s Wong
Is Liz on the Warpath?
Fight for old DC!
Liz doesn’t sound like she’s smok’n peace pipe with Pete.
I thought she was “Fauxcahontas”
Someone needs to give her a blanket.
She is going to zero in on the “election denial” and Jan 6 issue. Pete should be well-prepared.
Someone needs to give her a blanket party.
Face paint mandatory! How does anyone take faux-caw-haunt-us seriously?
Liz, Pete’s CIB trumps any argument you wish to put forward.
Would it be great if someone from the LBGTQ+ community beat the stuffing out of her?
Stands With Her Head Up Her Ass.
Warren is baiting Hegseth into sending an impolite response she can use against him. Senators and Reps have staff paid by the public send content-free “thank you for contacting our office” responses to constituents’ input and inquiries.
Perhaps Hegseth should have a staffer send Warren a response modeled on one of Warren’s own constituent letters. When she complains, release a copy of her own worthless constitutent letter, saying you hvd wanted to make sure that you response was of the sort she obviously found appropriate.
Hey Pocahontas—”Confederate” is spelled with a capital C!
Bring back the original names of forts named after Confederate heroes! Restore Confederate street names and statues, too!
Bring back the memorialization of the Confederate Territory of Arizona in Arizona and New Mexico! I grew up in Arizona, and back then everyone knew about the Confederate Territory of Arizona and was proud of it!
It’s too bad that Massachusetts—where the American Revolution started—has such lousy politicians as Elizabeth Warren and “gay” Maura Healey, among others.
The Lion, The Witch, and the audacity of this...
Senator Warren is 75 yrs old.
She can yell and scream and posture all she wants: Hegseth will be confirmed. Elections have consequences, Lie-a-watha.
