Jackie Robinson Article Restored After DEI Policy Backlash

Stephen A. Smith challenges Trump, Vance, and Hegseth to defend DEI cuts following the article's removal and reinstatement.

The Department of Defense removed an article about Jackie Robinson's military service as part of a broader effort to eliminate DEI-related content.
Public backlash led to the swift restoration of the Jackie Robinson article on the Defense Department's website.
Stephen A. Smith questioned the legitimacy of the removal, suggesting it was not accidental and criticizing efforts to erase historical reasons for DEI policies.
Smith called for a public debate with President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to address the rollback of DEI initiatives.
Smith also criticized Hegseth's qualifications, questioning whether his appointment exemplifies selective application of DEI principles.
