Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has railed against diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs since being confirmed earlier this year. However, this push has reportedly led to an uptick of racist incidents, according to insiders.
This adverse effect of Hegseth's efforts to fight what he has described as "wokeness" within the federal government was reported by the Daily Mail, who spoke to multiple insiders about an alleged letter by military officials to warn the public that Hegseth has "no clue what he's doing."
