During a hearing this week, Rep. Matt Gaetz questioned Gilbert Cisneros, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness of the United States, about a Department of Defense employee who is a ‘Diversity staffer’ under investigation for making racist comments about white people on social media.

Gaetz grilled Cisneros who seemed unable or unwilling to give a straight answer about anything.

FOX News reported:

Pentagon official forced to read anti-White statements from its diversity chief in congressional hearing

A senior Biden-appointed Pentagon official – Gil Cisneros – was forced to read and explain divisive statements against White people from one of his employees in a grilling hearing at the House Armed Services Committee Thursday.

Cisneros – Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness – was responsible for determining the outcome of a probe into former DEI chief Kelisa Wing over divisive tweets about White people, which called them “Karen[s].”

“Mr. Cisneros, are you familiar with the tweet? Can you please read the tweet aloud?” asked Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., about one of Wing’s controversial posts…

Matt Gaetz, R-Fla, said, “I would like to go back to the tweets of the racist person that works for you. What does ‘Caudacity’ mean?”

“I have no idea,” Cisneros said.

“You took six months to investigate one tweet. You didn’t even figure out what the words meant?” Gaetz asked.

“You said in a Fox News Digital article that you were going to take 30 days to investigate, and it took you six months in a six-month investigation. You guys didn’t learn what the word ‘Caudacity’ meant?” Gaetz said. “I think, you know. I think every person that’s going to watch this exchange knows, you know, it’s she’s trying to lash audaciousness with someone being Caucasian, isn’t she?”

“I have no idea,” Cisneros said. “We do not support racist tweets. We do not support racism.”

Why does our military even have diversity staffers? How does this help the country in any way?

Recruitment in our newly woke military is down across every division and the leaders of our armed forces don’t know why or are pretending not to know why.

The reasons are obvious to millions of average of Americans, some who served and even those who did not.

The people who would normally enlist have been demonized by the woke left which the military now celebrates. The COVID vaccine mandates are also playing a role.

This is not difficult to understand.

PJ Media reports:

America’s Military Leaders Swear ‘Wokeness’ Isn’t Reason Why Recruitment Sucks

The U.S. Army’s recruitment goal is at a three-year-low — down by so many military recruits that the missing troops represent an entire division of soldiers. But members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff swear woke politics has nothing to do with it.

Some congressional representatives disagree, which is why an Armed Services Committee hearing is set for Thursday about the impact of Joe Biden’s Army’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs on America’s “readiness, lethality, and cohesion of the military forces.”

The Army’s recruiting travails are so dire, and “today’s young Americans appear to be less interested in enlisting in the Army than they’ve been at almost any point in the last 50 years,” when Nixon ended the draft and instituted an all-volunteer force following the Vietnam bug out. The Army is bringing back the “Be All You Can Be” slogan re-tooled for the Gen Z audience…

Antipathy toward people with more conservative views has been underway for quite some time but was supercharged after Jan. 6, 2021, when it was assumed those who breached the Capitol Building were all Trump supporters and by extension conservatives. Some who went to see Trump’s speech that day were military veterans…

The military’s focus on DEI, which depends on Critical Race Theory, does little for esprit de corps and unit cohesion and nothing for the meritocracy the military has been known for. That’s a sea change likely to have the same disastrous results for the military as it has for education and banking.

This is a major national security issue.

Biden’s woke agenda comes at the expense of our military’s readiness.

The woke brass need to be cleaned out of the military. Not kidding. Not exaggerating. This should be a top priority when the GOP gets the White House back. https://t.co/sJIKBz0cUA

None of the woke nonsense helps the military achieve its main goal of protecting America.

It’s dangerous.
