Leaked memo shows J.D. Vance’s anti-woke ideology on foreign affairs
WP ^ | 7/19/24 | John Hudson

Posted on 07/20/2024 10:37:17 AM PDT by hardspunned

Before J.D. Vance became Donald Trump’s pick for vice president, he was known in the most powerful offices of the State Department as the single biggest obstacle to confirming career ambassadors in the Senate.

Armed with a questionnaire on hot-button social issues about gay and lesbian rights, gender transition care and hiring practices related to diversity, equity and inclusion, Vance (R-Ohio) held up for more than a year the nominations of dozens of diplomats assigned to serve in posts across the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.

A copy of Vance’s questionnaire, obtained by The Washington Post and published here for the first time, asked would-be ambassadors if they would increase the number of “gender-neutral bathrooms” in U.S. embassies, boost resources for “gender dysphoria and gender transition care” and raise the “Progress flag” during “regional Pride celebrations.”

The more the WP ‘tards dislike J.D., the more I like him. Journalists still don’t realize that folks finally realize that j-schoolers aren’t exactly candidates for anything other than...journalism or studies.

And if they can't hack it in those, they can always go into education.

From the article:

“The United States has a responsibility to champion human rights around the globe — and that includes the freedom for LGBTQ+ people to live and love without fear,” said Brandon Wolf, a spokesman with the Human Rights Campaign. “Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are cut from the same anti-LGBTQ+ cloth and have made clear that, should they get the keys to the Oval Office, they will demolish America’s Liberal's values on the world stage.”

This is great to know.

Vance’s reply on Twitter was

“You got me...”

Yeah, we don’t have enough enemies in the world and we have to make enemies of everyone by trying to tell them how they they need to go woke. Or else they will be our enemies. Maybe we should stage a color revolution if they don’t go woke.

Good. It angers me that taxpayers are even on the hook for that satanic trash.

LGBTQ+ are America’s values?

Yet, more proof that they are indeed, FAKE NEWS!

I totally support the actions of Sen. Vance regarding
his opposition to those appointments. America needs
more of Vance's type of leadership in Congress.
