Gaetz: If the Chief Diversity Officers Are What We Need to Win Wars, Send Them to Ukraine or Taiwan

EXCERPT:

GAETZ: "Well, as I explained to Congressman Bacon in the committee, we always have standards in the military that don’t allow people to be racist or harmful to their fellow service members, and none of those standards would have changed. The question is whether or not we ought to have these chief diversity officers, and Laura, they are making as much as $183,000 per year. Compare that to a private in the army or an airman or a sergeant working for our military. I tell you what, if the chief diversity officer is what we need to win wars, maybe we should send them all to the frontlines in Ukraine like now. Get them to Taiwan. But of course that's not the case. This dilutes our readiness. I’m glad that the structural office has been eliminated, but you always have to follow the money, and that's why I will continue to pursue efforts to get all of the funding removed."
