"Pete Hegseth apparently rescinded an admiral's promotion because of one (1) drag performance that had happened on that admiral's aircraft carrier,"
"Note to Pete Hegseth: the British military had drag shows *constantly* while they were at the same time conquering, like, the entire world. It was a standard form of entertainment."
"To clarify the record, I never was a part of a drag show, I was only one Queen who had a moment to shine for seven minutes to boost the morale of my shipmates just like they have throughout military history,"
"Donnelly came under fire from conservative influencers and media personalities because of drag show performances that occurred during his stint commanding the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier from 2016 to 2018,"
Pete Hegseth withdrew Rear Adm. Michael Donnelly's nomination for vice admiral and command of the Navy's 7th Fleet after controversy over drag performances held during Donnelly's command of the USS Ronald Reagan. Donnelly had been nominated by Donald Trump and confirmed by the Senate before Hegseth rescinded the promotion. Conservative influencers and media criticized the drag events, while participants defended them as short morale-boosting performances with historical precedent. Yeoman 1st Class Joshua Kelley, who performed in drag as Harpy Daniels, described a brief seven-minute performance intended to lift shipmates' spirits.
