A new Trump appointee to the United States foreign aid agency has a history of online posts denouncing liberal democracy and has said that the country is in the clutches of a homo-empire that pushes a tyrannical LGBT agenda.
In one post, Merritt Corrigan, who recently took up a position as deputy White House liaison at the U.S. Agency for International Development, wrote: Liberal democracy is little more than a front for the war being waged against us by those who fundamentally despise not only our way of life, but life itself.
Corrigans new position in the Trump administration, confirmed by two officials, has not been previously reported.
Corrigan previously worked for the Hungarian Embassy in the United States and tweeted that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is the shining champion of Western civilization, Politico reported last year. An embassy spokesman, Béla Gedeon, said Corrigan left her position there in mid-April.

(101,311 posts)Politico.eu saw her Twitter account before she changed it to private:
Far from the guardianship of a loving husband: Corrigan, who does not identify herself as an employee of the Hungarian embassy in her Twitter profile and routinely retweets articles from Russia Today, has also tweeted praise of the countrys leadership. Viktor Orbán is the shining champion of Western civilization, she wrote earlier this fall. Liberal democracy is little more than a front for the war being waged against us by those who fundamentally despise not only our way of life, but life itself, she said in another post. Writing for The Conservative Woman last month, Corrigan described herself as a conservative political strategist and raised concerns about women today being far from the guardianship of a loving husband.
Meh too: Ms. Merritt Corrigan is a local American employee of the Embassy of Hungary, NOT a Diplomat, said Béla Gedeon, a spokesperson for the Hungarian embassy. Her Twitter messages on her PRIVATE Twitter handle solely reflect her own personal views and opinions, and NOT those of the Embassy of Hungary, he added. Corrigan, who canceled a planned meeting with one of our reporters and did not answer written questions, changed the settings of her highly active social media profile from public to private after POLITICO contacted her.

Even the Hungarian embassy sounded embarrassed by her.
