LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON PETE HEGSETH BANNING BOOKS

April 12, 2025

Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement via Threads: 

“The so-called Defense Secretary has ordered 400 books removed from the Naval Academy library. 

This outrageous ban includes works about Slavery and the Holocaust, but not a book written by Adolf Hitler. 

The effort to whitewash our history must be reversed and Pete Hegseth fired IMMEDIATELY.”
