Pete Hegseth Drops the Bomb on DEI at U.S. Department of Defense
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Says ‘No More DEI at Department of Defense’: ‘No Exceptions’
By Fox News. The Department of Defense (DoD) is the latest agency that is disbanding all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs following President Donald Trump’s executive order terminating all federal DEI programs.
“The President’s guidance (lawful orders) is clear: No more DEI at Dept. of Defense,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote in a post on X.
In a handwritten note shared along with the post on X, Hegseth wrote: “The Pentagon will comply, immediately. No exceptions, name-changes, or delays.”
Hegseth added that “those who do not comply will no longer work here.”
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., echoed Hegseth, writing: “The best way to stop discriminating against people on the basis of race or gender is to stop discriminating against people on the basis of race or gender,” Kennedy wrote in a post on X. “Let DEI die.”
The best way to stop discriminating against people on the basis of race or gender is to stop discriminating against people on the basis of race or gender.
