However, some critics have slammed the Navy for using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/minnesota-teacher-praises-transgender-activist-sex-worker-in-front-of-middle-schoolers\/\" title=\"Minnesota Teacher Praises Transgender Activist, Sex Worker In Front Of Middle Schoolers\">drag queen<\/a> to recruit new members. Kelley recently responded to these critics in a TikTok video, showing a tweet from podcaster Graham Allen, who claimed that &#8220;our enemies LAUGH at us&#8221; because of the Navy&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n<h3> Kelley Claps Back <\/h3>\n<p>Kelley didn&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/uk-may-ease-ccp-virus-lockdown-from-march-foreign-secretary-says\/\" title=\"UK May Ease CCP Virus Lockdown From March, Foreign Secretary Says\">hold back<\/a> in response to Allen&#8217;s tweet. &#8220;You want to tear down service members and use my content without a tag so you don&#8217;t look homophobic or transphobic,&#8221; Kelley wrote on Instagram. &#8220;You only want to support the military when it benefits you and doesn&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/were-winning-u-s-navy-drag-queen-boasts-he-doesnt-give-a-f-about-critics\/\" title=\"US Navy drag queen confident despite critics, says he doesn't care.\">involve queer people<\/a>.&#8221; Kelley went on to defend the military&#8217;s diversity and adaptability, stating that &#8220;haters only hate when we&#8217;re winning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3> Former Navy Seal Weighs In <\/h3>\n<p>Not everyone is on board with the Navy&#8217;s decision to use a drag queen as a recruiter. Former Navy Seal Robert O&#8217;Neill, who is credited with firing the shot that killed Osama bin Laden, expressed his frustration on Twitter. &#8220;The U.S. Navy is now using an enlisted sailor Drag Queen as a recruiter. I&#8217;m done,&#8221; he tweeted. &#8220;China is going to destroy us. YOU GOT THIS NAVY. I can&#8217;t believe I fought for this bulls***.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3> Kelley&#8217;s Experience <\/h3>\n<p>Kelley, who identifies as &#8220;non-binary,&#8221; became one of five Navy &#8220;Digital Ambassadors&#8221; in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/navy-hires-active-duty-drag-queen-to-combat-sinking-recruitment\/\" title=\"Navy hires drag queen to boost recruitment.\">pilot recruitment program<\/a>. In a November Instagram post, Kelley expressed gratitude for the opportunity to share their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-navys-use-of-drag-queen-to-recruit-gets-slammed\/\" title=\"Navy criticized for using drag queen in recruitment efforts.\">drag experience<\/a> with fellow sailors. &#8220;Thank you to the Navy for giving me this opportunity!&#8221; Kelley wrote. &#8220;Hooyah, and let&#8217;s go Slay!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3> In Conclusion <\/h3>\n<p>While the Navy&#8217;s decision to use a drag queen as a recruiter has sparked controversy, Kelley remains unapologetic. As a service member, a queen, and an open queer person, Kelley is determined to thrive and represent the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The drag queen hired as a \u201cdigital ambassador\u201d for the United States Navy lashed out at critics who have slammed the Navy for using him in a bid to shore up sagging recruiting numbers.
