A conservative watchdog group has compiled a list of “woke ideologues” for Department of Defense secretary designee Pete Hegseth to purge should he overcome mounting allegations of personal and professional misconduct and become the Pentagon boss.
The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) sent a letter to the former “Fox & Friends” weekend co-host outlining 20 names of leaders across the military whom it deems excessively focused on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), as well as similar left-wing initiatives, and, therefore, an impediment to national security.
“The woke takeover of the military is a major threat to our national security,” AAF President Thomas Jones wrote in a letter to Hegseth dated Tuesday and obtained by The Post.
“As global tensions rise, with Iran on the march, Russia at war, and China in midst of a massive military buildup, we cannot afford to have a military distracted and demoralized by leftist ideology,” he added. “Those who were responsible for these policies being instituted in the first place must be dismissed.”
