Trump Fires “Woke” Joint Chiefs Of Staff Chairman

NBC News reports:

President Donald Trump on Friday night terminated Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman CQ Brown Jr., the country’s highest-ranking military officer, from his position. Brown, a fighter pilot, was the second Black person to serve as Joint Chiefs chairman after Army Gen. Colin Powell held the role from 1989 to 1993. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called Brown on Friday evening to inform him he was being fired, according to a defense official.

During a November interview on the “Shawn Ryan Show,” Hegseth said that if confirmed he would immediately fire Brown, arguing the general had pushed a “woke” agenda. Trump said Friday that he plans to nominate Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine to replace Brown, calling him “an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a ‘warfighter’ with significant interagency and special operations experience.”
