On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, former CIA Director and current MSNBC analyst John Brennan claimed it was "absurd" to suggest that President Trump fired C.Q. Brown, who Biden had appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, because he had a woke agenda.
Absurd? Really? After the death of George Floyd in 2020, Brown put out a video in which he focused on his own trials and tribulations as an African-American, and concluded by saying that he wanted "to lead and listen to necessary conversations on racism, diversity, and inclusion."

I doubt if MSNBC would have hired Brennan if he actually liked America and wasn't an avowed Communist. He is th epromary reason, IMHO, that the CIA is so controlled by the dark forces of the T R E A S O N O U S Democrat Party.

Considering Brenna’s history and abysmally poor judgment in having voted for the Communist Party in the not-too-distant past, anything he says should be immediately discarded as coming from flawed and deeply hostile places. Brennan is and always was a communist at heart. He will always come down on the side of that which divides.

Brennan isn’t stupid. He is pursuing the same agenda he was following at CIA. His comments are further proof that this was the right decision. The good thing is that Trump/Hegseth didn’t delay or vacillate.

Brown should have been cut loose when he posted a video, in uniform (fatigues) lamenting the "murder" of George Floyd, blah, blah, blah. To claim he isn't work and political is laughable.
This video on YouTube has been blacked out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU1G_XOCjI0
But this one has not. https://www.dvidshub.net/video/755013/im-thinking-about

Considering the source, it's fair to say that they were as woke as they could be.
And Brennan is as woke as possible, too.

The CIA was a creation of FDR toward the end of his reign, to create a foreign service under the direct authority of the President. When he suddenly died, the ascent, but globally supported offshoot of Military Intelligence, made it's own rules and goals, creating deep ties with the Military Industrial Complex.
I suspect one of their first acts was to assassinate General Patton. Patton was a man who FINISHED things... Which was inconvenient. Arms dealers need enemies to point at and 'protect' us from, in order to justify humongous taxes and spending.
They then worked to support Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong, as totalitarian regimes have always been favored by them. And are easy to demonize.
They then had war after war, with no conclusion. Korea, Vietnam, Middle East, you name it - bleeding off excess population and earning billions for the people who controlled the arms factories.

John Brennan is absurd, always has been. Anybody at the General's level who even mentions race is not doing his job. All those who praise George Floyd carefully avoid mentioning his long history of violent crime and drugs. He had committed a crime just a short time before his self-inflicted death.

Mr. Brennan, it doesn't matter what you think, feel or believe, he's still fired and you're still fired. You might need to be working on getting your own house in order, there might be investigations going on which concern you.

When your publicly-stated goal is to reduce the number of straight, white males in the military, you have a woke agenda. The problem for these media gaslighters is that libs have big mouths and are on the record.

It was really tough for C.Q. Brown in the US Military as he only rose through those ranks to the grade of four star General!
