CNN’s KFile has also reported that Beattie also has made a series of racially charged comments, writing in one tweet last year, “Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.”

Beattie also deleted at least half a dozen tweets that ridiculed his now boss, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, including ones calling him “low IQ” and repeating a false rumor about Rubio’s sexuality.

In response to a series of questions regarding this from CNN earlier this year, Beattie responded, “Secretary Rubio is 100 percent America First and it’s a tremendous honor to work for him in advancing President Trump’s world historical agenda.”

These hypocritical fascist clowns are the worst.

The phrase for ‘racially charged comment’ is ‘racist comment,’ fucking cowards.

Well, you can’t blame the current government on his selection; it’s not like they’ve got a bunch of people who aren’t white nationalists to pick from who are also loyal to Trump….
