NEW: Darren Beatty was fired from WH in 2018 for consorting w/ white supremacists. (He was an ally of Stephen Miller.)

Lately, he has been pushing conspiracy theories about George Soros.

Naturally, Trump has now appointed him to a Holocaust panel.



WASHINGTON — A former speechwriter fired from the White House in 2018 for attending a conference at which white supremacists were also present has been appointed to a commission tasked with preserving Holocaust-related sites across Europe.

The former speechwriter, Darren Beattie, will join the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, according to a press release sent by the White House on Tuesday evening.


Beattie’s three-year term on the commission gives him, like other Trump appointees, a foothold in the federal bureaucracy long after President-elect Joe Biden takes office.

Jewish groups expressed dismay at news of Beattie’s appointment. “It’s appalling that someone who was considered too close to xenophobic white nationalists to continue working in the Trump White House would now be appointed to a U.S. government body focused largely on the preservation of sites dedicated to the memory of Holocaust victims,” said Logan Bayroff, communications director for J Street, a progressive Jewish lobbying organization.

7. Agree. Trump is shifting from governing that benefits him in some way or pleases

his core constituencies, to just trashing the place for the fuck of it.

This is like some Stephen Miller/Steve Bannon prank.

We really are circling back around to: "The cruelty is the point"

I wonder if Jared Kushner is just fine with this.

6. It's going to be two solid months of "whaddaya gonna do about it"

He really is just a monster of chaos.

It's so sad to remember how absolutely and literally unimaginable this kind of behavior from an American president--really, any adult--would have been four years ago.
