GOP pressure forces resignation of Lockheed Martin's woke VP

 January 15, 2025

Lockheed Martin's senior vice president of government affairs, Shelly O'Neill Stoneman, has suddenly resigned after Breitbart News published the second installment of a broader investigation.

A Lockheed spokesperson spoke with Breitbart News, and a source inside the House Armed Services Committee told Breitbart they considered Stoneman to be "woke" and therefore incompatible with the incoming Trump administration.

"Shelly O’Neill Stoneman is no longer with the company, having resigned for personal reasons," the Lockheed Martin spokesperson said.

"As we did in his first term, we look forward to a strong working relationship with President Trump, his team, and the new Congress to strengthen our national defense," the statement read. "We share a commitment to achieving peace through strength and are focused on building mission critical defense technology our adversaries cannot match."

Lockheed Martin is a leading global security and defense contractor and counts on America's government for a LOT of business.

It was going to be a huge problem for the enterprise if one of its high-ranking executives was somebody with whom the Trump administration wasn't willing to work.

According to Breitbart:

Stoneman publicly endorsed a long list of woke agenda items on X. She supported transgender people serving in the military, shared a quote from Vox claiming that “Being anti-racist is a journey,” alleged January 6, 2021, was an “insurrection,” and also appeared to believe that diversity makes the nation stronger, for which she offered no evidence.

"The posts were made prior to her employment with the company, which began in August 2023," a Lockheed Martin spokesperson said.

And now, every post Stoneman makes is going to be AFTER her employment with the company.
