More like something the administration was trying to force down the Coast Guard's throat, and they're having none of it.
Here's Lunday's actual statement:
“The claims that the U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses or other extremist imagery as prohibited symbols are categorically false. These symbols have been and remain prohibited in the Coast Guard per policy. Any display, use or promotion of such symbols, as always, will be thoroughly investigated and severely punished. The Coast Guard remains unwavering in its commitment to fostering a safe, respectful and professional workplace. Symbols such as swastikas, nooses and other extremist or racist imagery violate our core values and are treated with the seriousness they warrant under current policy."
The Coast Guard followed it with this. Note the specific and repeated use of the word "Lawful":
"Today, @USCG announced the release of a policy and lawful order that doubles down on its current policies prohibiting the display, distribution or use of hate symbols by Coast Guard personnel.
The policy and lawful order provides clear definitions, guidance and expectations for Coast Guard personnel. It describes prohibited hate symbols in alignment with military policy.
This is not an updated policy but a new policy to combat any misinformation and double down that the U.S. Coast Guard forbids these symbols."
