Republican Lawmakers Demand Immediate Action from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin After Bombshell Bishop Garrison Report

Revolver, May 25, 2021

A group of thirty Republican Congressmen led by Matt Rosendale of Montana are demanding action from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin after Revolver’recent reporting exposed the disturbing depths of woke ideology taking control of the highest echelons of the American military.

“The sole purpose of the United States Military is to protect American citizens, defend American national security interests, and to fight and win wars when necessary,” the Congressmen say in a letter exclusively provided to Revolver News. “We urge you to use your authority to take action to fight back against the creeping left-wing extremism in the U.S. military.”

The letter specifically cites Revolver‘s recent exclusive exposing Bishop Garrison, the newly-appointed Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense for Diversity and Inclusion. As Revolver first reported three weeks ago, Garrison runs a toxic, dangerous grift that claims “White Supremacy is a national security threat,” and that patriotic Americans must be purged from the military to combat this fake danger. The Congressional letter states:

Under the guise of reviewing “extremism” within the ranks of the Department of Defense, it appears that political actors such as Bishop Garrison, the head of the working group tasked with defining extremist views for the Department of Defense, have been given broad freedom to both catechize and root out servicemembers who will not affirm far-left doctrines. Your order for a “stand-down” to ideologically assess servicemembers appears to have been connected to these efforts.

The letter also highlights the case of Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, the Space Force commander recently interviewed by Revolver who was relieved of command for his book warning about the infiltration of Marxist ideology into the armed forces. Along with Lohmeier, it also mentions the botched elevation of Richard Torres-Estrada, who was slated to serve as Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer until patriots unearthed his social media posts comparing President Trump to Adolf Hitler.

Besides Rosendale, other prominent signatories of the letter’s include Paul Gosar of Arizona and Matt Gaetz of Florida.

“Left-wing extremism and anti-white racism have percolated from universities and schools, to government agencies, and now the military,” Rep. Gosar told Revolver in a statement. “People who love their country are being purged from government and our armed forces. Biden and Bishop Garrison are prioritizing bigotry and anti-white hatred over national security. It’s unacceptable and my constituents demand answers and accountability” {snip}

It is virtually certain that Secretary Austin will attempt ignore this letter. His video address to the military during its February stand-down makes it clear he is fully on-board with the political purge of the armed forces currently underway. We cannot allow him to get away with this. The correct posture toward the political weaponization of our armed forces must be one of Maximum Pressure. Without maximum, unrelenting pressure from patriots, from media, and from congress, the military will accelerate its purge of pro-American patriots. It will escalate the fomentation of hatred of white people and division and hostility view among the citizens of this very country. And most dangerous of all, the military will be further hollowed out until all that is left is a husk waiting to be crushed in the next serious war.
