We appreciate that @RLHeinrichs deleted this hate-filled and unprofessional tweet yesterday after our friends and colleagues reached out to her.
Whether or not this indicates a change of heart, it suggests that @HudsonInstitute understood that this was unacceptable.
At a time when a rising moral panic is enshrining bigotry into law, driving staggering increases in domestic terrorism targeting trans children and adults, accountability and responsibility in the national security profession is crucial. We're sure @NTI_WMD and others can help.
This is a dismayingly unprofessional statement that promotes bigotry and violence. Professionals in our field should be ashamed of platforming someone like this.
It's beliefs and crass behavior like this that led us to set up ONS four years ago. We remain dedicated to making national security a field that reflects all American talents and, treats everyone with dignity, respect, and gives them equity in our common future.
