Several House Republicans called on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to 'put an end to any drag shows' and 'drag queen influencers' performing in the U.S. military.

Andrew Rose, who was discharged for refusing the COVID vaccine, joined "Fox & Friends First" to discuss his take on the military's "woke" effort to recruit additional service members.called on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to"put an end to any drag shows and any ‘drag queen influencers’ performing in our military."

"Instead of pushing woke ideologies, the Department of Defense should be promoting patriotism, pride in one’s country, and American greatness," the Missouri Republican continued."We deserve to know why this decision was made and who ultimately made it." "As you know, recent estimates show that only 9% of America’s youth are interested in military service," they continued."This troubling reality has led to the Army missing their recruitment goals for last year by 15,000 soldiers or 25 percent."

"We should be focused on deterring China and other adversaries, not drag shows which do nothing to enhance our deterrence and warfighting capabilities," they wrote."If these reports are true, we request you put an end to any drag shows and any ‘drag queen influencers’ performing in our military." Joining Alford on the letter were several of his GOP colleagues: Reps. Ronny Jackson and Pat Fallon of Texas, Cory Mills of Florida, Jim Banks of Indiana, Jen Kiggans of Virginia, Rich McCormick of Georgia and Guam Delegate James Moylan.

While Kelley’s Instagram bio shows that the performer’s opinions"are not endorsed by DoD or DoN," the drag queen claims to have danced in drag for service officers on a number of occasions, sharing one video from 2018.
