It's good to see the Pentagon take some steps to make the Navy less gay!

Here's the Daily Wire:

The Defense Department announced on June 18 that President Donald Trump had nominated Donnelly for promotion to vice admiral and an appointment as commander of the 7th Fleet, the largest overseas force that the Navy has.

Following inquiries from The Daily Wire about Donnelly and the drag queen shows he permitted on board the USS Ronald Reagan, a source at the Defense Department said that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is withdrawing Donnelly's nomination to lead the 7th Fleet.

If you want to know what that looked like, check out this sailor with the drag name "Harpy Daniels."

This guy dressed in drag under the watchful eye of Donnelly!

'Navy drag queen โ€˜Harpy Daniels' is serving looks โ€” and the country,' NBC headlined their story. The Military Times report was replete with photos of Kelley in drag, including one where he is doing a split in front of his fellow service members.

This type of significant press attention would have been 'a standard reporting requirement directly to Captain Donnelly at the time,' William Thibeau, director of The American Military Project at The Claremont Institute, told The Daily Signal at the time.

...

'The USS Ronald Reagan drag shows of 2017 and 2018 were not random acts of entertainment for sailors, but were sanctioned Navy programs under the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) department of the ship,' he noted. 'As commander of the ship, Captain Donnelly would have been ultimately responsible for this program.'

I don't know what's worse. That the Navy would have a sailor who was also a drag queen, that the admiral would sign off on it as an official entertainment initiative, or that there are apparently other Navy sailors who were demanding this sort of entertainment.

Like I said: MAKE THE NAVY LESS GAY!
