“The people who devote themselves to erasing the story do it because they really want to repeat it. So, the efforts of the Trump administration to erase Jackie Robinson are on the brand. When they did it, you would think you would have heard a strong and angry response from the dodgers. Instead, you heard that you heard [crickets]. “”
While Hill implies that the Trump administration deliberately attempted to erase the Robinson military file on the site, the Ministry of Defense told Outkick that the department had asked employees to report all the content of the DEI for withdrawal by artificial intelligence, although the staff members had only one week to accomplish the task.
