Nancy Pelosi condemned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to strip the USNS Harvey Milk of its name during Pride month, labeling the action as shameful and vindictive. The US naval ship was named after Harvey Milk, a significant gay rights activist, in 2016. The renaming order, part of broader plans discussed in a memo from the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, is reportedly set to be revealed publicly on June 13. Critics assert that this decision aligns with a dangerous cultural shift within the military that undermines inclusivity.
The reported decision by the Trump Administration to change the names of the USNS Harvey Milk and other[s] ... is a shameful, vindictive erasure of those who fought to break down barriers for all to chase the American Dream.
Timing of the announcement 'was intentional,' suggesting a broader agenda aligned with President and SECDEF objectives to reestablish the warrior culture.
