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.”
