A tweet from Monty Hall says: "This is why these DEI conversations are funny to me. The Black guy had to achieve countless high-ranking military positions, earn the Silver Star, and be a four-star General to be considered for Secretary of Defense.

The caption reads: "We went from Black excellence and class to just straight up trash."
