Yeah. They can look the other way, and if they look hard enough at you, they're going to find something that they can prosecute you on. And look, this comes also, as we saw, a purge at the Pentagon last week that gets us into similar territory. So Trump fired C.Q. Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

He also fired the head of the Navy, the number two of the Air Force, and the top lawyers of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. So- CQ Brown, the now former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, was only the second black chairman in history. He was fired because he is black. Let's just say what happened here.

Pete Hexeth made clear in his book that he questioned whether Brown had only been promoted in the first place because of his race. He later did a podcast interview where he accused he said anyone involved in, quote, DEI woke shit has to be fired. In the case of C.Q. Brown, the quote-unquote DEI woke shit was C.Q. Brown talking about being a black man in America after George Floyd was killed.

That was what happened. The now former chief of Navy operations, Lisa Franchetti, who was fired, she was the first woman to hold the job, so of course she got the ax.
