This is a total and unabashed insult to the qualified members who comprise the Board.

The Air Force isn't an Article I Section VIII enumerated power in the Constitution.

Maybe Erika Kirk will use her newfound power disband the Air Force, or at least their wasteful Academy that DOGE missed, in line with her Libertarian Small Government values.

Far right fascism being its best at being the worst, insulting any and all if it chooses them, and certainly the mission of the Air Force Academy is important, and she is not except for votes.
