Rep. Matt Gaetz Mops The Floor With Biden’s “Woke” Sec Of Defense In Fiery Exchange: “The Biden administration is trying to destroy our military by force-feeding it wokeism!” [VIDEO]

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has a reputation for exposing the Left and their radical ideology in House committee hearings. Yesterday was no exception.

This from 100percentfedup.com.

Yesterday afternoon, Rep. Matt Gaetz, House Armed Services Committee, blasted Joe Biden’s woke Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during a heated exchange on the House floor.

Gaetz began by exposing the woke secretary, accusing him of allowing a lecture by Thomas Piketty, “Responding to China: The Case For Global Justice and Democratic Socialism,” that took place at the National Defense University. The concept of the lecture was “It’s time for Socialism,” Gaetz told him, as Secretary Austin attempted to interrupt him to object to Gaetz’s assertions.

Gaetz also blasted Sec. Austin, for his ineffective leadership:

You guys have been blowing a lot of calls lately on matters of strategy, Mr. Secretary. He continued, You guys told us that Russia couldn’t lose, you told us the Taliban couldn’t immediately win—and, so I guess I’m wondering, what in the $773 billion that you’re requesting today is going to help you make assessments that are accurate in the face of so many blown calls?

Secretary Austin responded by telling Rep. Gaetz that he’s seen the budget and that it “speaks for itself.”

Rep. Gaetz was not impressed with his answer and continued his aggressive line of questioning.

Gaetz said that the US military, under the leadership of Joe Biden and Sec. Austin has fallen behind other nations and reminded him how they have failed to deter Russia from invading Ukraine and how our military is losing ground to China when it comes to “hypersonic weapons.”

Austin responded, interrupting Rep. Gaetz, “What do you mean, we’re behind in hypersonics?” asking, “How do you make that assessment?”

Gaetz responded:

I make that assessment because China is fielding hypersonic weapons systems, and we are still developing them. I make that assessment because Russia actually used one.

Gaetz compared the military capabilities that “everyone else in the world seems to be developing capabilities—we’ve got time to embrace Critical Race Theory at West Point, to embrace socialism at the National Defense University—to do mandatory pronoun training.”

Sec. Austin interrupted to defend his woke leadership. He took a ridiculous swipe at Rep. Gaetz, “The fact that you’re embarrassed by your country.” Oh, no, no, no,” Gaetz responded. “I’m embarrassed by your leadership. I am not embarrassed for my country.”

“You know what? That is so disgraceful that you would conflate your failures with the failures of the uniformed service members,” Gaetz said.

Watch:

Thank you, Congressman Gaetz.

God speed to you and may God bless America.
