Not sure, but word is he's sometimes called upon to blow into the breathalyzer when Pete's feeling a bit off his mark.

So the supremely unqualified white supremacist DUI hire makes himself an actual DEI hire, a less than mediocre white guy with zero experience and completely unqualified for the job, but he fired the highly qualified 4-star Chairman of the Joint Chiefs because he was black. That's the Drumpf regime in a nutshell.

He's white and he's family. That's all the merit that he needs according to MAGATS.
