The Pentagon’s Chief Spokesman had four words to say about DOGE that left Democrats fuming

Barack Obama and Joe Biden weakened the military with woke policies and DEI initiatives. 

Donald Trump selected Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary to clean the woke out of the military.

And the Pentagon’s Chief Spokesman had four words to say about DOGE that left Democrats fuming.

Donald Trump rocked Washington, D.C. on Tuesday night in a speech before Congress that had Democrats and the left-wing media in shambles.

Not long after the President started his speech, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson ordered the Sergeant-at-Arms to remove Al Green (D-TX) after he refused to sit down and continued screaming at Donald Trump.

Trump highlighted his accomplishments and laid out his vision for ushering America into a new golden age.

One of the accomplishments highlighted by Donald Trump was removing the woke from the military.

“Wokeness is trouble, wokeness is bad,” Trump said. 

“It’s gone, it’s gone, and we feel so much better for it, don’t we?” he continued. “Don’t we feel better that our service members won’t be activists and ideologues?” 

“They will be fighters and warriors,” he added. “They will fight for our country.”

Trump called out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and thanked him for his efforts to return the military to greatness.

“He’s not big into the woke movement,” Trump said. “I can tell you, I know him well.”

The military hit a recruitment crisis during Joe Biden’s Presidency due to woke generals pushing the transgender agenda and DEI policies on the Armed Forces.

But Donald Trump has already turned things around as the military just had “its single best recruiting month in 15 years, and that all armed services are having among the best recruiting results ever in the history of our services.”

Even though Americans knew Biden and Obama injected wokeness into the military, no one knew it was this bad.

Donald Trump created the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and tasked Elon Musk with leading its efforts to find waste, fraud, and abuse to cut from the federal budget.

DOGE has already terminated hundreds of DEI contracts that saved taxpayers $105 billion.

Under Elon Musk’s direction, the DOGE team is auditing each department and agency within the federal government.

This includes the Department of Defense and the Pentagon.

And according to Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell, the DOGE team has already found $80 million in wasteful DEI spending to cut.

“We promised you transparency at this Department of Defense, and America, that is exactly what you’re going to get because you deserve it,” he said in a video posted to X. 

Democrats have been in a frenzy over Elon Musk and DOGE, with many even calling for him to be arrested and deported.

But Parnell made it clear that the Department of Defense is “working hand in hand” with DOGE.

“We’ve been working hand in hand with the DOGE team, and as the Secretary said, we welcome that process because that process will make us more lethal, and that means that our warfighters on the battlefield will be more successful, and that’s what this process is all about,” he said. “So in the interest of transparency, look at some of the initial things we found.”

He then listed outrageous spending, such as $1.9 million for holistic DEI transformation and training in the Air Force, $6 million to the University of Montana to “strengthen American democracy by bridging divides,” $3.5 million at the Defense Human Resources Activity for support to DEI groups, and other woke related waste.

Americans elected Donald Trump to clean up after Joe Biden and get America back on track.

A big part of that includes removing the woke ideology and identity politics of the Left.

And Donald Trump is moving at break-neck speed to get the job done.
