Rick Scott just talked about “transgender training” in the military and we’re all a little dumber now
Pensacola Morning News, show host Andrew McKay asked Scott about the military’s readiness to engage in a possible conflict.“They’re more focused on woke stuff than they are on being lethal,” Scott replied. “I think our job of our military — and I served in the Navy, my dad served in the Army — our job is basically to scare the crap out of our enemies.
They’re putting a lot of time into pronouns, stuff like that.”Scott said a Naval commander told him that military heads ordered him to stop tracking a Chinese ship in order to “do transgender training.” The military has no record of such a thing ever occurring, a Pentagon spokesperson told the American Independent Foundation (API).Nevertheless, Scott blamed President Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Mark Milley of becoming “woke” and focusing more “on gender and skin color than on having a lethal military force,” the API wrote.It’s not surprising that Scott is targeting “wokeness” and trans-inclusivity in the military.
