Special Operations Command Diversity and Inclusion Chief Reassigned Pending Investigation into Anti-Trump PostsKristina Wong 29 Mar 2021
The new diversity and inclusion chief for the U.S. military’s Special Operations Command, Richard Torres-Estrada, has been reassigned pending the results of an investigation into politically-charged social media posts he made before he was hired, a spokesman told Breitbart News on Monday.
“Mr. Torres-Estrada has been assigned other duties at USSOCOM pending the results of the investigation,†said SOCOM spokesman Kenneth McGraw in an email.
He also confirmed the commander of SOCOM, Army Gen. Richard Clarke, has initiated an investigation into the social media posts, which included a meme comparing former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.
As Breitbart News reported Friday, Torres-Estrada’s postings on Facebook gained widespread public attention after SOCOM announced his hiring on Thursday.
In the June 2, 2020, social media post where Torres-Estrada compared Trump to Hitler, he posted, “Here I leave this and slowly retire (to continue working from home)…†along with a meme of then-President Donald Trump, holding up a bible in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church after Black Lives Matter protesters set fire to it, next to a photo of Hitler.
