Like Bud Light, The U.S. Navy Steps On A Rake With Drag Influencers
< < Go Back
It doesn’t matter if consumers spend their beer dollars elsewhere, but it does matter when the Navy loses its share of the recruiting market.
The U.S. Navy has embarrassed itself again with news that is difficult to believe. On May 1, Micaela Burrow of The Daily Caller broke the news that the Navy chose a drag queen, Navy Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, to be a recruiting “digital ambassador” in a six-month pilot program that ended in March.
The sailor’s Instagram page displays photos and TikTok videos of Kelley flashing between his uniform and glitzy drag outfits, multi-colored wigs, stage makeup, and burlesque poses. This is the same sailor that Navy Times photographed in 2018 performing a drag queen strip tease to entertain fellow crewmembers on the carrier Ronald Reagan.
This story is bigger than just the sailor/performer, stage name “Harpy Daniels.” It’s about the judgment of unnamed officials who chose a male drag queen as a Navy digital ambassador to potential recruits. Whoever came up with the idea should be held accountable and precluded from evaluating the results of the pilot program.
