The leaked conversation reveals a discussion among cabinet members about a Wisconsin dairy farmer’s lawsuit alleging racial discrimination, with suggestions of using the situation to alter the social justice narrative and potentially broach the subject of trade relations with Russia.
[LEAKED SIGNAL CONVERSATION]
April 5
Waltz (08:48 am ET): Good Morning, Team. There’s an interesting case from Wisconsin. A dairy farmer is suing the administration. He claims discrimination against white farmers.
Rubio (09:02 am ET): This is worth looking into. There’s a lot of negative press around this issue.
Vance (09:16 am ET): 🤓 This could be our chance to flip the script on the narrative of social justice.
Hegseth (09:25 am ET): 💪 Absolutely, JD. Farmers are the backbone of this country. They shouldn’t be subjected to any form of discrimination.
Gabbard (09:35 am ET): 🇷🇺 What if we can spin this into a larger conversation about trade with Russia? Our farmers could benefit.
Miller (09:52 am ET): Gabbard, that’s ridiculous. No one wants their breakfast cereal tainted with Russian collusion.
Rubio (10:15 am ET): 😂 Miller, that was a good one. I’m more of an oatmeal guy myself.
Vance (10:25 am ET): I’d prefer if we stayed on topic. It’s easy to get lost in the weeds of geopolitical banter. The situation is critical for those farmers.
Witkoff (10:44 am ET): Agreed Vance, the local economy is at stake. We need to push hard on the issue.
Hegseth (10:59 am ET): You guys remember Rocky? 🥊🥊 Talk about a character who knew how to overcome adversity. That’s what our farmers need – a fighting spirit.
Miller (11:15 am ET): Hegseth, I’m not sure Rocky really applies here.
Rubio (11:20 am ET): 🙏 Give Pete a break, Miller. At least his heart’s in the right place.
Bessent (11:30 am ET): Hey team, we need tangible solutions. Maybe tax waivers or subsidies for the affected farmers?
Kent (11:45 am ET): I might be able to pull some strings in the Senate. Let’s critique Trump’s policy, instead of invalidating the farmer’s fear.
Ratcliffe (12:00 pm ET): Well said, Kent. Let’s strategize on this.
Wiles (12:05 pm ET): Agreed. We need a meeting ASAP. Those farmers are counting on us.
