This Pentagon Press Secretary Has a Long History of Bigoted and Xenophobic Posts
What Happened: Trump’s Department of Defense hired 26-year-old Kingsley Wilson, a far-right internet provocateur with a history of racist, xenophobic, and transphobic rhetoric, as deputy press secretary. Wilson has ties to Trump’s 2020 campaign, the Center for Renewing America, and the far-right social platform Gettr.
Why It Matters: Wilson’s appointment signals the Pentagon’s shift toward overtly extremist rhetoric and policies. Her history of amplifying white nationalist conspiracies and attacking marginalized groups highlights how Trump’s military will handle diversity, immigration, and global security.
