Podcaster Joe Rogan is backing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s war on “woke garbage” and “fat generals.”

“Well you saw what the f— was going on over the last four years,” Rogan said on his podcast Tuesday, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “You got guys in dresses talking about how it’s really important to have inclusiveness, ‘It’s the most important thing about the military, it’s inclusivity.’”

“We had crazy people that were in charge of very important positions, including that guy that was stealing women’s clothes. That guy was in charge of like f— nuclear waste and he’s running around stealing people’s underwear,” he added.

On Tuesday, Hegseth said to the military’s senior-most officers that he doesn’t want to see “fat generals and admirals” or overweight troops. While talking in Quantico, Va., the Defense secretary emphasized the need to keep in line with strict fitness standards, stating all service members at every rank is required to take a physical fitness test, and meet height and weight requirements twice a year.

WTF! With all the sh*t going on in this country the right-wing is focusing on fat generals! ICE used helicopters to land on an apartment building in Chicago! Wearing battle dress like military like they are on the streets Kabul not Chicago! Raided the apartment house without any warrants! Claiming that it was a bed of immigrants drug pushers! They also raided a homeless shelter. The Chicago Sun Times reported.

Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked, residents and witnesses said. Agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in the five-story building, and U.S. citizens were among those detained for hours.

[...]

The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid. DHS said some of those arrested “are believed to be involved in drug trafficking and distribution, weapons crimes and immigration violators.”

And the right wing pundits are yakking about fat generals!
