ClineWatch: U.S. military excessively ‘woke,’ congressman tells Newsmax

Contributors

Congressman Ben Cline went on the far-right channel Newsmax to claim without evidence that an excessively “woke” U.S. is undermining unit cohesion and national security.

Now that the notoriously un-“woke” Russian army (which once dazzled Republican Senator Ted Cruz) is suffering multiple defeats and humiliations in Ukraine, perhaps Cline should reconsider.

And Congressman: It doesn’t do wonders for your credibility when you appear on the same channel that lends credence to the sadly delusional Lara Logan.

Ben Cline and Lara Logan may not be equally deluded. But they are both wrong.
