The Pentagon's pick for chief of diversity and inclusion, Richard Torres-Estrada, has been 'reassigned' after sharing posts on social media comparing former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. Kirby said SOCOM head Gen. Richard Clarke is probing the matter and has the backing of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. 'Obviously, we take the need to promote diversity and inclusion seriously here in the department,' Kirby told reporters. SOCOM had announced Torres-Estrada as the pick for diversity chief on Thursday. On Friday, Fox News Channel pundit Tucker Carlson shared Torres-Estrada's posts on his show, blasting the military for going 'woke.'
