US Army investigating how 'MAGA' was described as a form of 'covert white supremacy' in handout

(CNN)The US Army is investigating how a handout distributed on a base in Alabama initially included a description that the phrase "Make America Great Again" was a form of "covert white supremacy" and therefore racist -- which it says was "sent out in error and immediately recalled."

Earlier this week, a graphic was included in a handout disseminated at the US Army's Redstone Arsenal that suggested that President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign slogan was a form of "covert white supremacy."

On July 6 at Redstone, officials distributed a handout to personnel that "included two unapproved pages that were sent out in error and immediately recalled," Army spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said in a statement.

The slides were to promote the Army's so-called listening tour under a program it calls Project Inclusion, a new initiative to improve diversity and racial inclusion across the military.

I am tempted to say it is good they recalled that handout, it was completely in error. The word covert absolutely does not belong.

2. Yup. "Covert" was the error.

What "again" do they think MAGA is talking about?

It's the "again" when women and black and brown people were second (at best) class citizens, if they were considered citizens at all.

MAGA = MAWA, and pretty much everyone knows it.

(Make America Great Again = Make America White Again)

At least someone in the Army publications division knows what's up.
