A lot of progressives are really triggered that President-elect Donald Trump nominated Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense. Of course, they all leave out his education and 20-year military career when discussing him and refer to him only as the host of "Fox &amp; Friends Weekend." And not only will he be replacing a four-star general, he'll be replacing a black four-star general.&nbsp;

Keith Boykin, author of "Why Does Everything Have to Be About Race," seems to remember Lloyd Austin as being called a DEI hire. We don't recall that.

America has plenty of four-star generals who never won a war.

The Biden administration has had a lot of DEI hires, like Karine Jean-Pierre. But we don't remember anyone calling Austin a DEI hire.

Why does everything have to be about race? Boykin literally wrote the book on the subject.
