Admiral dodges question over US Merchant Marine Academy official's tweet about 'white, male' misogyny, racism
Fox News
Rear Adm. Ann Phillips of the U.S. Maritime Administration dodged a question from Rep. Brian Babin about controversial tweets about White males from a USMMA official.
"We don’t have forces who do right by survivors of intimate partner and sexual violence because we don’t have forces who don’t abuse Brown and Black people," Tripolskii wrote in the tweet. "Same forces, same reasons. Misogyny and racism grow from the same white, male root." The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy needs experienced leaders training our merchant mariners, not some social justice warrior who's laser-focused on DEI ideology … Jon Brown is a writer for Fox News Digital.

Tripolskii also retweeted a user in October 2020 who suggested that "White men with a history of domestic and sexual violence" are more inclined to become "radicalized terrorists."
Tripolskii's Twitter activity prompted a scathing letter from four members of the U.S. House's Anti-Woke Caucus to USMMA Superintendent Vice Adm. Joanna Nunan earlier this week.
