Welp, we knew it might occur, however President Donald Trump has formally graduated from filling his administration with barely closeted white nationalists to appointing a white nationalist who doesn’t even trouble with the closet in any respect. (Truthfully, I’m most likely being far too beneficiant to Trump and the whole thing by suggesting any of them usually are not loud and pleased with their advocacy for the preservation of white supremacy, however no matter.”
Meet Darren Beattie.
Based on CNN, Beattie has been appointed to function the performing Underneath Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, which the State Division web site describes as an appointment “to assist the achievement of U.S. overseas coverage targets and aims, advance nationwide pursuits, and improve nationwide safety by informing and influencing overseas publics and by increasing and strengthening the connection between the folks and Authorities of the USA and residents of the remainder of the world.”

And simply in case anybody thinks that is some sort of “responsible by affiliation” assault on Beattie. No, he’s racist sufficient that really he’s the one which may get you labeled as a white supremacist simply by being related to him.
From CNN:
Beattie additionally has made a collection of racially charged feedback, writing in a single tweet final yr, “Competent white males should be in cost if you would like issues to work. Sadly, our total nationwide ideology is based on coddling the sentiments of girls and minorities, and demoralizing competent white males.” He praised Dr. James Watson, the founder of recent genetics who later urged Black folks have been much less clever than White folks, because the “best dwelling American scientist.” Beattie repeatedly stated Black lawmakers, policymakers, and teams have to “be taught” their place and take “a knee to MAGA.”
“‘Shithole international locations’ was the excessive level of Trump’s presidency,” he wrote in 2020.
Darren Beattie additionally posted in 2020 a deeply misogynistic tweet attacking Taylor Swift for opposing a monument in Tennessee’s Capitol honoring Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Accomplice normal and early chief of the Ku Klux Klan, evaluating her advocacy to performing sexual favors for music producers.
“That celebrities are required to debase themselves with such statements is, in some methods, much more humiliating than the bodily favors they’re required to carry out for his or her producers,” he wrote.
Really, Beattie is ideal for this administration. He believes solely white males are competent sufficient to work necessary jobs (like Trump); he believes white persons are genetically superior to “minorities” (like Trump); and he believes that even essentially the most racist, anti-Black slavery advocates to ever grip a musket for the Confederacy needs to be honored as American heroes (similar to his orangey-white nationalist MAGA messiah).
Additionally, like Trump, Beattie was a fierce advocate for the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters.

“Primarily based,” Beattie wrote, utilizing slang to specific robust settlement, in a since-removed tweet a couple of video of police clashing with Trump supporters on the Capitol steps. “The forgotten man speaks,” Beattie wrote in one other deleted tweet about rioters within the US Senate chamber. Because the assault unfolded, Beattie wrote in a still-active tweet, “The FBI ought to take a knee to indicate respect to the MAGA protestors.”
Following the riot, Darren Beattie wrote in one other deleted tweet at roughly 11 p.m., “This shade revolution is purple, white and blue.”
So, Trump has appointed a proud racist who’s a Klan commemoration advocate and a cheerleader for the home terrorists the president impressed to assault democracy to be a prime chief in public diplomacy and public affairs.
Nah, this tracks.
