Army Reserve Captain Christina Winters faces disciplinary action after donning her uniform to attack Trump administration policies on TikTok, violating military regulations on political statements. Winters made inflammatory claims on “Transgender Day of Visibility,” alleging the administration wants to erase transgender people from society despite regulations prohibiting service members from making partisan statements while in uniform. This incident highlights how progressive ideology continues infiltrating military ranks despite clear rules designed to keep our armed forces politically neutral.
Army Officer Breaks Rules With Anti-Trump TikTok
After her controversial TikTok video criticizing the Trump administration, the U.S. Army Reserve has confirmed it will take “appropriate actions” against Captain Christina Winters. Posted under the username “alexandrahamilton01,” the video featured Winters in her official Army uniform making political statements against Trump’s policies regarding transgender individuals.

Winters published the video on “Transgender Day of Visibility,” directly addressing what she characterized as efforts to remove transgender people from society. Despite including a disclaimer that her views did not represent the U.S. Army, her decision to wear the uniform while making political statements violates clear military regulations.
Republican Lawmakers Demand Accountability
Republican members of Congress swiftly condemned Winters’ actions, noting the apparent violation of federal law and military conduct standards. Rep. Keith Self was particularly outspoken, emphasizing that service members are prohibited from making political statements in uniform.

Self stated firmly: “He is free to live his life of fantasy, but he is not free to make political statements in uniform—that is a violation of federal law. The U.S. military is not a jobs program for the mentally ill.” The congressman added that President Trump’s efforts to end woke policies aim to restore lethality to America’s fighting forces.
Military Standards vs. Personal Politics
Winters’s controversial statements included claims that the administration wants to “remove us from our homes” and “remove us from our jobs.” The decorated officer, a public affairs officer and independent journalist, crossed a clear line by leveraging her military position to advance personal political views.
“The current administration wants us to not be visible, they want us to be invisible, they want to remove us from society. They want to ensure that we are disenfranchised, that we no longer have a voice, that we no longer have the right to enter any space that is safe.”
Military regulations explicitly prohibit service members from participating in partisan political activities while in uniform, designed to maintain the armed forces’ political neutrality. The Army Reserve cited privacy concerns in declining to specify what disciplinary measures Winters may face, though violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice can result in serious consequences.
This incident highlights ongoing tensions between the military’s traditional values and progressive political agendas seeking to transform America’s fighting forces. The Trump administration has consistently worked to remove divisive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies from military operations to restore focus on combat readiness and national defense.
