CIA slammed for ‘wokeness’ in newest recruitment video

May 3, 2021

The Central Intelligence Agency was trending on Twitter after conservatives slammed it for promoting “wokeness.”

In the recruitment video, a CIA officer describes herself as an “intersectional cisgender millennial woman of color with generalized anxiety disorder.” Subsequently, Twitter trolls swarmed to comment.

Turns out the CIA was behind Woke all along. Seems kind of obvious in hindsight. pic.twitter.com/QQfnV1It0k

This video was published a month ago, but only really attracted attention.

Max Blumenthal, editor of Grayzone News, joked that the CIA can be the new home base for radical liberals.

This is awesome, the CIA is almost taking credit for the narcissistic radlibs that infest the US left and summoning them home to base https://t.co/j6DiBC6NaT

Bryan Dean Wright, a former CIA officer himself, strongly disagreed with the commercial’s sentiment. He says now it has become “dangerously more political.”

The CIA used to be about mission to country. (I speak from experience)

Now it’s now about demanding — and getting — accommodation to fix an emotional wound or advance a personal agenda.

America is less safe with this new CIA, and dangerously more political. https://t.co/bYiP1vK7rB

The CIA has not responded.
