Pete Hegseth says Hakeem Jeffries' 'dumb effing individuals' jab is evidence of how far Dems 'have fallen'
Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth responded to an X video posted by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, slamming him and other Trump officials as "dumb effing individuals" in a play on DEI.
"Of course, they don't like the fact that we're ripping DEI out of the military and making it colorblind and merit-based."
Jeffries' remarks criticized Hegseth's instruction to purge the U.S. Naval Academy's library of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)-related content.
He vowed to keep pressure on "extremists" behind the move.
Rather than focusing on DEI, he said he remains focused on "rebuilding America's military" with "peace through strength" policies, cutting out waste and investing in new technologies like the F-47 fighter jet.
"We're looking at all the ways in which our military academies educate and giving guidance to get rid of DEI, and I think the American people appreciate that," he added.
