That doesn't fit Rob or scooter's narrative

Rob's new narrative is the DoD admits to it.

Kinda strange how TrumpCo targeted just this one guy. I've heard rumors (from a co-worker) Colin Powell was also erased, but it's just Charles Rogers that supposedly got DEI'd off the defense.gov page. You would think that any self respecting journalist would start combing thru the website and see if other people of color were affected. But the liberal media, in lock step, ran with this one story over and over and over again just parroting each other and doing no actual journalist work. I'm not going to give Fox (and Company) a pass either. I'm sure they had to know this story was circulating and could have confirmed or refuted the story, seen if other bios were affected, etc. Instead it looks like FoxNews ignored the story, or maybe google suppresses them as a source for this story. Go Team Blue.

Just another "wedge" to keep people at each other...

Why not gin up the bases? Everything is so peaceful in the country

They put it back up after people noticed? At least somebody in that administration is thinking rationally.

Or it never happened. I see no evidence to support that this happened to other "dei" bios. Any journalist in the world could have spent sometime on the website to see if other bios were affected. I suspect what happened is the journo's just kept parroting the story and nobody actually confirmed the story or did any other research. Why would this guy get pulled for DEI reasons considering his service pre-dates DEI. With 5-10 minutes of GoogleFu, it looks like there are plenty of bios of black soldiers on gov't sites.

nobody actually confirmed the story

Why potentially ruin good propaganda

Maybe they're worried the "Trump is this, that and the other" narrative will die without constant reinforcement. And since the base is full of true believers, nobody is going to confirm these stories. In all fairness, the right often does the same thing and runs with some ridiculous narrative.

Rob and Stroker Ace sure were happy about it being true that they didn't really research it to well. As long as they can get at least some kind of complaint in on Trump it is a win for them.

I believe it, therefore it's true.

Oh I know both parties play those games...sooner or later it will lead to something horrible happening to our country...

Maybe we just need a law stating elected officials cannot lie in an official capacity (like townhalls, interviews, or on the chamber floor)...make it a disqualifying offense to hold office. Might be enough to hold off the narratives pushed by the media...

I'm sure there'd be loads of support in the houses for that

I tried to explain it to the two people here hell bent on believing that Donald Trump is the Anti-Christ or however they see him that if the story is coming from the left then there is a 99% chance it is rooted in bullshit. A story created to make Trump look bad to reel in viewers to their program.

Especially when it's obvious Trump is on top of things. They need to go back to Evil Orange Dude.

It just fit the narrative so well that didn't want to poke at it.

That's standard political spin...accuse the opponents of what you've done
