Whiskey Pete takes aim at women in secret crackdown

Pete Hegseth has blocked the promotion of female senior Navy officers without explaining his rationale.

Hegseth, the Fox News host turned Defense Secretary, literally wrote the book on cracking down on diversity in the Armed Forces, raging in his 2024 volume, The War on Warriors, that the woke mob “will not stop until trans-lesbian Black females run everything!”

Indeed, five of the people he has blocked from achieving two-star admiral rank are women or people of color, The New York Times reported, citing Pentagon sources. This is the first time in a decade that no active-duty female Navy officers are likely to be promoted to admiral.

The Times stated that Hegseth, in a “highly unusual move,” defied the recommendation of a promotion board comprised of senior admirals. They put forward a list of 22 candidates, and Hegseth shot down seven, five of whom are women or people of color.
