Jackie Robinson Was a Hero -- NOT a "DEI Hire"

My grandmother was from Queens. Her all-time hero, in all walks of life, was Jackie Robinson. She died well before fellow Queens native Donald Trump first ran for President, but she knew he was a fraud and a rotten guy.

Before he was the first black player in modern baseball, Robinson was the Rosa Parks of the U.S. Army -- 11 years before Rosa Parks became the Jackie Robinson of public transit.

Today, the U.S. Department of Defense removed Robinson's profile from an "Athletes Who Served" page on their website, listing him as "DEI."

Things like this are why Jackie Robinson left the Republican Party.
