Pete Hoekstra Demands Intelligence Community Depoliticization Under Trump
- Pete Hoekstra criticized federal agencies for alleged political bias under the Biden administration.
- He pointed out that agencies like the FBI and CIA failed to properly address significant issues and engaged in censorship during the election.
- Hoekstra concluded that the intelligence community must focus on keeping America safe rather than being politicized.
During the Friday edition of "Just the News, No Noise," Pete Hoekstra, the former U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands, emphasized the need for the intelligence community to remain nonpolitical during the Trump administration. He highlighted concerns about political bias in federal agencies such as the FBI and CIA under the Biden administration, citing their handling of issues like COVID-19 and the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. Hoekstra criticized these agencies for allegedly supporting the Chinese Communist Party and participating in censorship. He claimed that they guided social media during the 2020 election, determining what constituted real news versus fake news, which, according to him, is not the responsibility of foreign intelligence organizations. The remarks reflect a broader conversation about the perceived politicization of intelligence agencies and their crucial role in national security.
