The Spin
Democratic narrative
Brown is an outstanding selection because of his broad background, his bold leadership, and his commitment for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within the military. It’s important for the military to look like America, and Brown’s not afraid to speak out against discrimination while honorably serving the US.
Republican narrative
Brown’s credentials are impressive, but let’s hope he doesn’t steer the military toward a woke agenda that could put the US in a precarious position with so much going on in Ukraine, the Pacific, and elsewhere. Under Brown, who made race an issue by recording a video in 2020 about his experiences, the Air Force conducted investigations into racial and gender discrimination. This utilized time and resources that should have been put toward national security.
