An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress; State Governors & Legislatures

No DEI Hires Left to Blame—Just Your Own Signatures

15 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

You’ve made a spectacle out of erasing anything labeled “diversity,” “equality,” or “inclusion.” But without a single DEI hire left in the room, maybe that’s why no one warned you before Pete Hegseth just proudly boasted about axing a law YOU signed. That’s right—the Women, Peace, and Security Act, a bipartisan achievement signed into law by Donald J. Trump in 2017, is now being trashed as a “woke” distraction by your own Defense Secretary. Here’s a refresher on who supported it: • Secretary Marco Rubio • Secretary Kristi Noem • Ivanka Trump, your own daughter • And you, Mr. Trump It was hailed at the time as a smart, strategic policy that enhanced women’s participation in global security, conflict resolution, and postwar recovery. It wasn’t a Biden thing. It wasn’t a leftist fantasy. It was your administration’s work. But now Pete Hegseth—your handpicked Secretary of Defense—is taking a sledgehammer to it. The same Pete Hegseth who: • Has a DUI record • Used military Signal chats to discuss classified operations with civilian real estate moguls • Ended Black History Month observances • Banned Maya Angelou’s memoir from the Naval Academy • Said America’s military was too busy with “diversity games” to win wars You want to talk about leadership and readiness? Maybe start by removing him, not policies that actually strengthened international security and promoted stability. The American people see through the charade. You blame Biden for everything—even programs you passed, praised, and put your own family’s name behind. This isn’t about ideology anymore. It’s about ego, hypocrisy, and coverups. The irony? Without DEI hires left, no one stuck around to tell you the truth. Are we great yet, or just embarrassed?
