Abby Phillip Absolutely Shreds Pete Hegseth’s Idiotic Plan to Remove Harriet Tubman and Thurgood Marshall’s Names from Navy Ships

CBS News indicates that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has initiated the renaming of a fleet replenishment oiler commemorating Harvey Milk, the trailblazing gay rights activist, and is contemplating further alterations to vessel names.Documents acquired by CBS highlight potential changes affecting ships named after civil rights figures, including USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and others, which raises questions regarding representation in American history. During a discussion on CNN NewsNight, Abby Phillip challenged the rationale of these decisions, emphasizing the disparity between honoring historical figures like Harriet Tubman and Confederate traitors. The memo reinforcing these name alterations states they aim to align with the Commander-in-Chief’s “warrior culture.” Critics, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, describe the effort as an overt attempt to erase significant contributions from marginalized communities. The final resolutions regarding the other vessels await confirmation.
