Freak of the Week: Darren Beattie
His Appointment is On Brand for the MAGA Revenge Team
Our Freak of the Week is Trump's undersecretary of state of Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs: an out and proud eugenicist, Darren Beattie. He is a longtime white nationalist radicalizer whose tweets would have gotten almost anyone in America, and certainly anyone in public service, fired – until recently. Now, he is able to spew his views into the biggest and most powerful radicalization pipeline in the world, from the bully pulpit of the U.S. State Department, in a taxpayer-funded job, chipping away at the foundation of America as a heterogenous, multi-racial democracy. His appointment is an audacious troll, which is on brand for the MAGA revenge team.

I believe that their whole game is going to fall apart, that there are too many decent people out there who will not stand are not standing for this. The veteran who was removed from the town hall meeting in NC shouted on his way out "From the left to the right, the US will Unite".
So grotesque. I have no words. Thank you
