The intelligence agency that oversees the CIA, FBI, NSA, and more under President Joe Biden recently celebrated “Pride Month” by encouraging agents to paint their nails with the colors of the “trans” flag.
According to a document obtained by the Daily Wire, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) called on agents to paint their nails to display their “allyship” to the “community.”
“For nail painting, we’ll have our pro team of FVEY artistes ready to decorate you ready for Pride Month, with the option of celebrating pride or trans flag colors,” the document stated. “If you don’t normally paint your nails, or have never done so, all the better! We’ll do everything for you, and you might just love it. What better way to show your allyship to the community?”
The agency also recommended other ways to celebrate “Pride Month,” including writing blog posts about being an “ally.”
The posts would be included in the Pride Employee Resource Group’s “Why I’m an Ally” series, which is described as an “informal way for allies of the Pride Community to explain just why they actively choose to be an ally.”
Earlier this month, ODNI also kicked off the “Pride Ally Challenge,” which offers agents a “guided journey to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community and empower you to become a better, more well-informed ally,” the Daily Wire reported.
Additionally, the top intelligence agency is celebrating “Pride Month” with a “Walk with Pride” march. The event encourages agents to “celebrate Pride and show your support for the LGBTQIA+ community.”
“Be sure to sport your pride swag!” the document states, according to the Daily Wire.
Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), a combat veteran and member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, called ODNI’s “Pride Month” focus “a total misplacement of priorities.”
“It just shows where this administration’s priorities continue to be, which is a virtue signal to the progressive Left, rather than staying focused on lethality, effective intelligence collection, and keeping America safe,” Waltz told The Daily Wire. “It’s just a total misplacement of priorities, and it comes from the top, and it comes from highly politicized political appointees, by political appointees that are pushing an agenda.”
“I think it is a total misplacement of priorities from senior leaders all the way down the chain, and you overlay this with the amount of threats that we’re facing as a country from peer adversaries that are eclipsing us in hypersonics, in nuclear weapons, in space, in the size of their navy, in espionage,” Waltz added. “You’ve got the FBI director saying that we’re opening, they’re opening a new counter-espionage case against China every 12 hours, and they don’t have anywhere near the resources to deal with it.”
