Veteran conservative commentator John Fund protests against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to rename the USNS Harvey Milk, arguing that this action dismisses Milk's civil rights legacy. Fund asserts that Harvey Milk, who was a prominent anti-Communist and civil rights leader, should still be honored, especially given his significant contributions to society, including his advocacy for neighborhood safety and individual rights. He cautions that renaming the vessel may deepen divisions within the military and contradicts the progress made under previous administrations in recognizing LGBTQ leaders.
"Harvey Milk was a patriot who stood for civil rights, and renaming the USNS Harvey Milk undermines the legacy of a political figure who embraced conservative values while advocating for justice."
"Milk understood the importance of human rights rooted in community safety and individual protection, making his contributions to society noteworthy and deserving of respect, regardless of political leanings."
