  • Pete Hegseth is booed and heckled by military families in Germany upset over anti-DEI push - Protesters chant 'DEI' in apparent reference to ban enacted by Hegseth on some books in defense department

Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and former Army officer, faced boos and heckling from military families during a town hall in Germany, as reported by The Daily Beast. The event, held at the US Army Garrison in Wiesbaden, was intended to discuss the impact of the Biden administration's policies on the military. Hegseth, known for his criticism of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, encountered significant pushback from the audience, particularly when he suggested that DEI efforts were divisive and detrimental to military cohesion. Attendees expressed frustration over what they perceived as an attack on efforts to promote inclusivity within the military, with some directly challenging Hegseth's views by highlighting the importance of DEI for fostering a supportive environment for all service members. The tension at the event underscores the broader cultural and political divide regarding DEI policies within the U.S. military community.
