Poor kid wasnt white enough for Hegseth.
But racism is over according to the conservatives among us......./S
and if anyone points out the problems with that opinion,
they immediately gaslight us by saying that person is a racist too.
The circular mental stretching in very impressive.
MAGA probably figures he only got the MOH as part of some DEI program.
pete probably thought that minority recipients of the MOH were over represented in US military history ...
In the MAGA mind this 'boy' only did what he was supposed to do, sacrifice himself to save other soldiers, so they don't really see it as heroic.
Here's what we all know Hegseth would throw himself on to save his fellow soldiers...
"I Got you Kash! You're ar DEI hire cause you said we're not racist, thanks man! I'll be yer wing man any- (hic) -time"
Welcome to Trumps America, where we celebrate incompetence in the name of white Christian supremacy.
Milton Olive III park is a small beachfront park in the shadow of Navy Pier.
I guess Hegesth would take his name off the placard
