Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell reports live in Miami Beach, Florida, reporting on the Hyundai Air and Sea Show in celebration of Memorial Day weekend.— Navy officials dismissed critics of its promotion of LGBTQ+ Pride as"bigots" and"a**holes," according to emails obtained by Fox News Digital.
"I just don't have the emotional energy to deal with rude a**holes and we are planning to put up our Pride Month post," wrote the official, whose name and position are redacted."I'd just as soon post our message without any feedback from trolls and ugliness." "Not a best practice, but totally up to you. Here’s how I advised our leadership before we put up our rainbow wingtip graphic," the official wrote.
"But understand if you’ve had your fill of ugliness. Let me know what you decide to do," he continued. This supposed opposition from CRUITCOM comes as the Navy is estimated to miss its recruitment goals for fiscal year 2023 by 16%, according to the vice chief of naval operations.
