    The Spin


    Republican narrative

    These explicit chats were a serious breach of professional conduct and trust within intelligence agencies. They may have been tolerated by the prior administration under the guise of DEI, but they will no longer be allowed. Immediate corrective action is necessary to maintain the integrity of and restore confidence in these institutions.


    Democratic narrative

    The targeted removal of these employees, along with the dismantling of DEI programs, appears to be part of a politically motivated purge. This will harm workplace diversity and inclusion efforts, while also violating federal workforce protection laws. It also undermines the public's confidence that these institutions can remain apolitical.
