“In a move that disproportionately targets women and minority officers, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently blocked the promotions of at least seven Navy officers who had been selected by a board of senior Navy admirals.
The net result of Mr. Hegseth’s intervention is a slate of 22 nominees to be one-star admirals that bears little resemblance to the broader force these officers will help lead.
At least two of the officers removed by Mr. Hegseth from the promotion list are women and two are Black men. An additional three are white men.”

A move that is clearly racist and misogynistic – typical of the racist Trump regime.
Hegseth’s anti-diversity politics is driven by racism, bigotry, and hate – the wrongheaded lie that women and minority officers are promoted because of race or gender, when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.

The defense secretary’s decision to block the officers’ promotions appears driven by his anti-diversity stance rather than based on merit.
