On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said Gen. CQ Brown was removed as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff due to his race and responded to pushback that other officials who are white were dismissed by stating that Brown got called “woke” and “DEI” and “they are substituting these acronyms for the n-word. So, why would you apply the term woke to Gen. Brown? What does that mean?”
Clyburn began by saying,” I believe that everybody knows what an outstanding soldier Gen. Brown is and has been, for many, many years. He has a 40-year career in the military. Nobody has found any fault with him. Because of his skin color, he has been declared DEI or woke.”
Host Laura Coates then cut in to ask, “Is that why you think the president has let him go, because he’s black?”
Clyburn answered, “That’s what I think.”
Coates then asked, “In terms of why you think the Joint Chiefs of Staff [Chairman], CQ Brown, was let go, what is your reaction to those who would say, hold on, there were others who were let go, are you leaping to conclusions? What’s your reaction?
Clyburn responded, “I’m not leaping to anything. I’m going by that book that Hegseth wrote. What did he write in that book? now, you know that these words that they’re throwing around like woke, that’s an [acronym] that they have come up with, and you know what it means. When they say DEI, we know what it means. As I heard somebody say earlier today, they are substituting these acronyms for the n-word. So, why would you apply the term woke to Gen. Brown? What does that mean?”

Oh jimmy, you so funny.
The old crybaby Clyburn hasn’t croaked yet? What the hell is he waiting for? He needs to make the world a better place and just croak.
works for me... so be it...
He was fired because he is a racist.
Wait, so democrats have been using the n word all this time?
well now he IS outstanding! on the outside where he belongs. next.
he wants General Kamala in charge of the military like Admiral Rachel in pubic health.
It’s been so long since I’ve seen “Clymer” as a pejorative on this site, I’m assuming it would be no big change to substitute “stick it up his Clyburn.”
Nincompoop?
No surprise here. Clyburn has played the race card every 5 minutes for his entire life.
We need a revival of Clymer but use Clyburn instead.
whatever...nobody cares about that anymore...played out.
Your race card has been denied.
O Bs Clyburn, you racist.
Can they actually prove that? I seriously doubt that. I think countersuits of slajder and defamation are in order from now on for these character assassination statements.
N-word, please...
Better call a Wambulance
President Trump’s top advisor is African American.
Racism accusatio s not credible.
That sounds like another good reason to get rid of DEI/Woke.
