United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) has hired as its first “chief of diversity and inclusion” a person who posted anti-Trump memes on his Facebook page, including one that compared the former president to Adolf Hitler.
After his hire was announced, some of Torres-Estrada’s apparent social media posts began circulating.
A Facebook account appearing to belong to Torres-Estrada posted on June 2, 2020: “Here I leave this and slowly retire (to continue working from home)…” along with a meme of then-President Donald Trump, holding up a bible in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church after Black Lives Matter protesters set fire to it, next to a photo of Hitler.
He more recently, on February 19, 2021, posted a meme critical of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).
Breitbart News reached out to a spokesman for SOCOM on Friday afternoon, asking, “Does SOCOM have a statement on why he was hired at SOCOM to be the diversity and inclusion chief when his posts could be seen as partisan, and concerning for members of the military and SOCOM community who supported Trump?”
The spokesman responded, “We are aware of the allegations and are looking into them now.”
Joe Kent, retired U.S. Army Special Forces chief warrant officer 3, who spent more than 20 years in special operations and completed 11 combat deployments, criticized Torres-Estrada’s posts.
“Looks like the new diversity officer loves celebrating diversity with those who agree with him. Here is what he thinks of the rest of us- Mr. Torres-Estrada was not placed in US Special Operations command by mistake,” Kent tweeted.
Kent added: “The left is not hiding the fact that they are in control & have the power to cleanse the ranks of those who do not submit "

So much for SOCOM.
Might as well be SCUM...
Joe Kent, retired U.S. Army Special Forces chief warrant officer 3, who spent more than 20 years in special operations and completed 11 combat deployments, criticized Torres-Estrada’s posts.
“Looks like the new diversity officer loves celebrating diversity with those who agree with him. Here is what he thinks of the rest of us- Mr. Torres-Estrada was not placed in US Special Operations command by mistake,” Kent tweeted.
Kent added: “The left is not hiding the fact that they are in control & have the power to cleanse the ranks of those who do not submit He is one of the reason you see so much woke tweeting from Sr Mil leaders They are pledging their loyalty to the new order & cleansing themselves of the old.”
He added: “Special ops leans heavily right, that’s why Biden’s team put such an outspoken monitor in SOCCOM & is not having him tidy up his social media, it’s a not so subtle warning. Special ops leans right but honorably serves our nation, regardless of what party POTUS is from.”
Presumably those retired flag officers who were so anxious to kneel to wokeness by piling on Trump will be okay with this, as it comes from those whose boots they opted to lick. McChrystal, Mattis, Mullen...
What kind of white person would join the US military?
On Tucker Carlson’s show....

If the Democrats were truly interested in diversity, they would hire a few intelligent people too.
It won’t be long ‘til each Army Battalion, Navy ship, etc, all have a Political Commissar of equal rank to the CO, just to keep everyone in line.
Kinda like the guy in Red October.
He looks like the perfect “play date” candidate for Vindman.
The guy looks like the only battle he has been in was in a bath-house.
;-)
>>The spokesman responded, “We are aware of the allegations
It’s not an allegation.
It’s like saying man landing on the moon is an allegation or that Trump was elected in 2016 is an allegation.
It is FACT.
$5 says he’s got a 11-year old boy chained-up in his basement.
It is a jobs program for many of our unassimilated unemployables; what kind of white person sees any point to funding it anymore? The Capitol demonstration showed we are just paying for our own occupation (like the British Quartering Act).
One finger joe is continuing the work of his former boss and turning the military into a social experiment. I’m betting the individual in question has never worn a uniform.
I just can’t understand how these people, who have contempt for the majority people of this country, use Neo-marxist standards to judge the USA’s institutions are morally corrupt, and want to dismantle traditional Christian culture - would ever expect to be able to face down China, Russia, militant Islam, or any other threat on behalf of the USA.
Its the ultimate contradiction.
“Kinda like the guy in Red October.”
And we remember what happened to him.
The deep state has already lost most American conservatives, as they have declared traditional America an enemy, as much as they have Russia or China.
They will find they have ZERO support for their next military adventure in the mid-east, Black Sea, South China sea, or wherever it occurs.
Stupid Bureaucrat climbers like this clown can’t realize this, but one would think someone in DC would.
My very first thought.
