Unsilenced Majority Statement On Lt. Col. Lohmeier’s Firing

May 18, 2021

WASHINGTON – Mike Davis, founder and president of Unsilenced Majority, today released the following statement regarding the firing last week of Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lohmeier, commander of 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado. 

“Lt. Col. Lohmeier’s firing is a pretext to silencing disfavored views within the Biden administration rather than a legitimate response to a patriotic officer exercising his First Amendment rights. Lt. Col. Lohmeier was informed that his book did not require preapproval – so why would his free speech otherwise require approval? The Pentagon’s top brass showed their hand by labeling anti-Marxism as partisan politics. After fighting a 40-year Cold War and defeating communism in Europe, opposing Marxism should be a universal American value. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin should immediately reinstate Lt. Col. Lohmeier. Unsilenced Majority stands ready to defend Americans who find themselves the victims of cancel culture.” 

Unsilenced Majority is a grassroots conservative advocacy organization opposed to cancel culture in all forms. We strongly believe that corporate censorship, thought-policing and politically motivated blacklists and boycotts are having a corrosive effect on our country and will ultimately lead to a less free world. We also believe that freedom of speech and diversity of thought are fundamental bedrocks of a free society and should always be protected and celebrated. The Unsilenced Majority speaks for an emboldened majority of Americans who recognize the imminent threat that cancel culture poses to our nation. The rising intolerance of cancel culture is breeding fear and paranoia in our politics, across the corporate world, at our children’s schools and even in our neighborhoods. It must be stopped. The Unsilenced Majority aims to harness grassroots opposition to fight back against cancel culture before it’s too late. 

Mike Davis is the founder and president of Unsilenced Majority, an organization dedicated to opposing Cancel Culture and fighting back against the woke mob and their enablers. As the former Chief Counsel for Nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, Davis also leads the Article III Project (A3P), established to defend constitutionalist judges and the rule of law, and the Internet Accountability Project (IAP), an advocacy organization fighting to rein in Big Tech.
