"Don Lemon finds it ironic that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is dismantling Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs within the military, considering Hegseth himself is a DEI hire, the ex-CNN star said. Lemon, during an appearance on Dan Abrams' SiriusXM show on Tuesday, made it clear he was not a fan of the new military agenda Hegseth outlined earlier in the morning, while giving a speech to top commanders at Quantico."
"Abrams, who is also the founder of Mediaite, played Lemon part of Hegseth's speech where he said the military would no longer observe identity months or adhere to politically toxic garbage. Well, I think that kind of proves my point. If we were done with that, I don't think he would be Secretary of Defense, Lemon said after hearing the clip."
Don Lemon called it ironic that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is dismantling Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs while being a DEI hire. Hegseth told top commanders at Quantico that the military was done with "woke garbage" and that combat troops would return to meeting the highest male standard only. He announced a new physical fitness plan and criticized overweight generals. Dan Abrams played Hegseth's remarks and Lemon said Hegseth is not qualified for his position and hard for many Americans to take seriously. President Trump issued executive orders aimed at eliminating DEI within the federal government.
