Legal group demands Navy investigates its 'ambassador' drag queen

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley claimed that accusations that the U.S. military has become woke are "grossly overexaggerated" during a recent CNN interview.

A conservative legal group asked the Navy Monday to investigate its "digital ambassador" drag queen for political and sexual posts online they claim violate military rules.

America First Legal sent a letter Monday morning to top Navy officials detailing the need for an investigation into Yeoman Second Class Joshua Kelley, who performs as a drag queen named "Harpy Daniels." Kelley, who is in the Navy and was hired as a "digital ambassador" drag queen, has tweeted several times about his support for Democrats. 

Jacob Meckler, legal counsel for America First Legal, said the Navy must enforce military policies that restrict any political statements from members.

"There is strong reason to believe that Yeoman Second Class Joshua Kelley ("YN2 Kelley") has knowingly, materially, and repeatedly violated these critical requirements," Meckler wrote in the letter. "[H]e has repeatedly engaged in partisan activity, behaved in ways that discredit the military, publicly criticized his command, and misused his uniform for personal gain. Based on the Department’s past actions with respect to politically or culturally conservative service members, an investigation is appropriate here."
