New Trump Appointee to Foreign Aid Agency Has Denounced Liberal Democracy and "Our Homo-Empire"

[RandySF]

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.”

Corrigan’s 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.

Orban, a far-right politician, has cracked down on civil society, academic freedom and other liberties. USAID has recently partnered with Hungary to help Christians in Iraq, a pairing that some career USAID officials said they found unsettling.

The Fascists are congealing and clotting in America's open wound now. The pus should be forming soon. It is a bad disease.

They are going to group and play for keeps. It's an all out war with a fortified, occupied White House.

5. here is some pure excrement

from her writings :
"Feminism has stripped us of our dignity as women and stolen our natural right to the nurturing, the calm and aesthetic, the meticulous and artistic, the affectionate and pure. Feminism has reduced women to cheap imitations of men, a role we will only ever fill poorly. It has made a mockery of our real feminine abilities and defiled our bodies, once the sacred possession of husbands who could protect and serve us."

6. This is why

Hypocritical closeted gay Republicans have to be outed. They cannot sign off on this kind of shit and then be allowed their private dalliances.

7. Homophobia and heterosexism in action.

This is beyond disgusting and those who care about queer people should be angered by this, so much so they no longer use homophobia and heterosexism in their insults of people on the right.
