Purge: Space Force Commander Fired for Noting, Correctly, That Critical Race Theory Is Marxist

Meanwhile, NeverTrump continues focusing its fire on the real authoritarians: Republicans.

During a May appearance on the "Information Operation" podcast, Lohmeier claimed leftist ideologies were spreading throughout US society, including in the media, in universities, in the federal government, and in the branches of the US military.

In an appearance on another podcast, the Steve Gruber show, Lohmeier said: "Since taking command as a commander about 10 months ago, I saw what I consider fundamentally incompatible and competing narratives of what America was, is and should be," according to CNN.

"That wasn't just prolific in social media, or throughout the country during this past year, but it was spreading throughout the United States military," he added. "And I had recognized those narratives as being Marxist in nature."

According to CNN, when asked for an example, Lohmeier mentioned The New York Times' 1619 project, which critically examines the legacy of slavery in the US. The project has drawn anger from Republicans who have fought to ensure it isn't taught in schools.

He also said practices like mandatory diversity and inclusion training, which Republicans have also rejected, create divisiveness in the US, according to Military.com.
