SMASHING OUR WOKE TRUMP POLICIES: To hear Pete Hegseth tell it, it was the next bold step in purging wokeness from America’s military.

“This morning, I proudly ENDED the ‘Women, Peace & Security’ (WPS) program inside the [Department of Defense],” the beleaguered defense secretary tweeted Tuesday. “WPS is yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops.” For good measure, he added that the program was part of the United Nations and “pushed by feminists and left-wing activists.”

Just one little problem: WPS—which, according to the law creating it, is intended to encourage “meaningful participation of women in conflict prevention and conflict resolution”—is not a “Biden initiative” at all. It’s a Trump-signed 2017 law cosponsored by two of Trump’s current cabinet officials, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Rubio praised Trump for signing the bill into law at a State Department event less than a month ago, and the group “Women for Trump” listed WPS among its reasons for arguing that Trump “did more for Women than any administration in history” during his first term.
