Defense Department press secretary John Kirby said Monday that he was unable to answer whether it is considered politically partisan for service members to advocate for Black Lives Matter (BLM) while at work.

Asked at a press briefing whether workplace BLM talk was “considered partisan,” Kirby said he was “not able to answer that question” and that the discussion as to why could “go down a rabbit hole on a million different things.”
