Critics, including former CIA operatives, argue that these initiatives distract from the agency’s core mission. One former paramilitary officer stated, “We’re the point of the spear for the Agency and we don’t have time for this nonsense.”
Ratcliffe, who served as Trump’s Director of National Intelligence during his first term, is expected to prioritize the CIA’s primary purpose—protecting national security. A source familiar with Ratcliffe’s plans claimed, “I suspect Ratcliffe is going to come in like a wrecking ball to the woke deep staters. The mission is all he cares about.”
Reorienting the CIA’s Focus
Observers note that the CIA’s transformation under Biden has steered the agency away from its traditional role. Activities commemorating Orange Shirt Day and support groups for divorced employees exemplify a shift toward social initiatives. Critics argue this pivot undermines the agency’s focus on intelligence gathering.
“No more politicized intelligence products. No more social experiments,” a source said. “Nothing and no one that distracts from the mission of collecting foreign intelligence and keeping Americans safe.”
John Ratcliffe’s potential leadership is being framed as a return to basics for the CIA, ensuring it remains focused on its duty to safeguard the nation.
Woke Policies vs. National Security
The agency’s integration of DEI policies has faced criticism for prioritizing political agendas over security. Cliff Sims, Trump’s former Director of National Intelligence for Strategy and Communications, detailed in his book The Darkness Has Not Overcome his surprise at the extent of identity politics within the CIA.
Sims recounted an experience at the CIA cafeteria: “Even in here, I thought to myself, considering how someone had taken time out of their day protecting the security of America from dangerous foreign actors in order to promote the latest iteration of identity politics.”
Bryan Dean Wright, a former CIA officer, echoed similar concerns, stating, “The CIA used to be about mission to country. (I speak from experience). Now it’s about demanding — and getting — accommodation to fix an emotional wound or advance a personal agenda. America is less safe with this new CIA, and dangerously more political.”

Ratcliffe’s Challenge Ahead
As the Biden administration’s DEI policies face growing scrutiny, Ratcliffe’s potential leadership symbolizes a pivot toward prioritizing national security over progressive agendas. For many within Trump’s camp, dismantling these policies is an essential step in restoring the CIA to its original mission.
“The sociology experiment that Biden turned the CIA into is coming to an end and the focus is returning to the mission,” a source said.
If Trump’s vision is realized, the CIA may soon shed its current image and recommit itself to the mission of keeping Americans safe.
