Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chair of the Joint Chiefs General Milley Both Lie to Congress, Claiming the Military Doesn't Support Drag Queen Story Hours

This is perjury. There are drag shows announced on the regular at military bases.

This story is from March 29th. I'm not sure what brought it to the attention of David Strom on Wednesday, but I'm glad he highlighted it.

Both Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and General Milley, Chair of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, insist that the Department of Defense neither funds nor supports drag queen story hours on military bases.

That was and remains a lie. When presented with the evidence in a Congressional hearing Austin repeated the lie, even when confronted by incontrovertible evidence that he was spreading falsehoods.

He lied. Then he lied again. And again.

I have no idea if he was under oath, but it shouldn't matter. Lying to Congress and the American people is unacceptable, except when a Democrat is in the White House. Then it is apparently mandatory.

It doesn't matter. Whether they were under oath or not, lying to Congress is obstruction of Congress, and obstruction of Congress is the same process crime with the exact same penalty as perjury.

It is bad enough that the military is promoting "all-ages" drag shows, to begin with; it seems a bit at odds with what we would come to expect and perhaps is not conducive to the good order and discipline we expect from the military brass. I would have thought that such things would happen when the troops were on leave, not on base.

But promoting these shows to the children of the troops? I would have to assume that at least one or two of them might object, which suggests that perhaps the brass should stay out of the business of dealing in drag shows.

Usually the strip clubs are off base. At least it is that way in the movies.

The strip clubs continue to be off the base -- heterosexual sexual material remains taboo. It's only gay sexual material, particularly that intended to be enjoyed by children, which has had all taboos lifted.

More at Breitbart.

Below, Gaetz first asks why Austin is not attempting to re-hire the 8,000 military people he fired because of their refusal to take the fauccination.

He then segueways into the "important things" the DoD is doing, like hosting Drag Queen Story Hours.

Here's Gaetz, handing him a folder full of articles about DoD sponsored Drag Queen Story Hours.

But don't worry -- next time he's asked about this, he will claim to have "no awareness" of it again.
