Jenny Goldsberry – Space Force Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lohmeier appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity” Monday to share the details of his recent ousting from a position of Commanding Officer. He revealed to host Sean Hannity that he retains his rank but was recently reassigned over speaking out against Marxism on the “Information Operation” podcast.

The Department of Defense called on military commands to hold an extremism ‘stand-down’ day following the Capitol riots. Every base had from February to April to schedule a day to implement the guide provided by the DoD. During Lohmeier’s “down-day,” he claims his base watched a video that proclaimed “the country was evil, that it was founded in 1619 rather than 1776, and that White [people] are inherently evil.”

According to Lohmeier, he doesn’t believe he broke any regulation that called for being relieved of his position.

“I don’t believe I was being partisan. It is not politically partisan to expose or attack critical race theory or marxism,” Lohmeier told Hannity.

“The reason I say that is because critical race theory and Marxism are antithetical to American values. Critical race theory fuels narratives that attack America’s founding documents.”

As a result, Lohmeier says he’s received “thousands” of letters from fellow members of the military who also wish they could speak out as he has. They tell him they’ve “lost their voice.”
