The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser tried to play the race card over President Donald Trump’s firing of Air Force General CQ Brown Jr. as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.The Gateway Pundit reported on Brown’s ouster on Friday.In a post on X, Glasser floated the idea, via a quote without attribution, that claimed Brown was fired because he is Black.Response to the firing from a former senior defense official: the chairman of the Joint Chiefs was fired ‘just because he was Black.’— Susan Glasser (@sbg1) February 22, 2025Glasser conveniently failed to acknowledge that Brown was nominated by him for Chief of Staff of the Air Force during his first term.Users on X were quick to point out Glasser’s embarrassing omission.Nominated be the first black chief of the Air Force by Donald Trump, but also fired by Donald Trump because he was black.Do you idiots even listen to yourself?— 5% NaCl (Salty) (@TwoRulesOfWar) February 22, 2025Was the “former senior defense official” Black?Let me know when Trump fires @FBIDirectorKash LOLYou people are clowns. Trump is the guy who put him in charge of the Air Force!!!! …, then subsequently realized he was INCOMPETENT and sucked at the job.— The universe is righting itself (@KnowTheShot) February 22, 2025Are you just making this up? Otherwise put a name on this cowardly chicken-(manure) race-baiter.— Kristinn Taylor (@KristinnFR) February 22, 2025Nope. You don’t get to do this. He was hired because he was highly qualified. From what I understand, his job under Biden focused on DEI policies. These policies don’t benefit black people or the military. He’s being fired for the same reason everyone else who has a focus on DEI…— Nikki M.
