The great irony of attacking DEI initiatives, and then hiring a swath of incompetent and unqualified sycophants.

Well, most are white and have a red tie, so that seems important. /s
Hegseth has the vain hair and makeup look, too.
It's not irony; it's projection. Moreover, falsely accusing the center and the left of doing the things you're doing or about to do is part of the far-right playbook to muddy the waters. Because to anyone not interested, now everything looks like incomprehensible mud slinging where nobody is really correct.

The goal of accusation in a mirror is often lot more dangerous than just muddying the waters.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusation_in_a_mirror
Accusation in a mirror (AiM) is a technique often used in the context of hate speech incitement, where one falsely attributes one's own motives or intentions to one's adversaries. It has been cited, along with dehumanization, as one of the indirect or cloaked forms of incitement to genocide, which has contributed to the commission of genocide, for example in the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and the Armenian genocide. By invoking collective self-defense, accusation in a mirror is used to justify genocide, similar to self-defense as a defense for individual homicide.
The Office of the UN Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide (OSAPG) defines mirror politics as a "common strategy to create divisions by fabricating events whereby a person accuses others of what he or she does or wants to do", and includes it as a factor in their Analysis Framework on Genocide, when analyzing whether a given situation poses a risk of genocide.
Love how Wiles photo makes her look like a head on a stick. LOL.
Imagine leaking your plans for genocide... And the news is all about the leak!
Not even worth mentioning the genocide. That's completely normal.
Welcome to fascism.
