Sailor Joshua Kelley said it was 'my job to defend that freedom' to 'have your own views' when asked about criticism from Robert J. O'Neill.
Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, who goes by the stage name Harpy Daniels, received attention online recently after becoming one of five"digital ambassador" for the Navy, a program which a spokesperson said aimed"to reach a wide range of potential candidates as the Navy navigates the most challenging recruiting environment it has faced."
"I'm proud to serve, and I'm proud for the stuff that I've done within the military too," Kelley told NewsNation on Tuesday."I'm more than just a drag queen. I have records of awards and accomplishments that I've done myself along with any other service member who's served." Asked if such a statement hurt coming from another, former member of the Navy, Kelley responded that it did not."You have your own opinions, you have your own views," the yeoman said."And as a sailor, it's my job to defend that freedom, and that includes even my freedom of expression."
