Trump nominee deletes 5K social posts praising violence and demanding liberal's execution

President Donald Trump's nominee to be assistant secretary of state for international organizations reportedly deleted thousands of inflammatory posts that praised Jan. 6 rioters and called for the execution of American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten.

In a report on Thursday, CNN said that Jeremy Carl's posts were uncovered even though he deleted them from X and asked for them to be removed from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

Carl wrote in 2023 that Jan. 6 defendants were more oppressed than Black Americans under Jim Crow. He later said that American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten should be "tried for crimes against America's children and would get the death penalty."

Only two days after the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, Carl accused then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of a "military coup" and said that she "must be prosecuted."

(Back to every accusation is a confession.)

You’re so-called “leftist lunatics“ are just that, fringies. Nobody in the Democratic Party calls for execution or violence or hanging or shooting. Republicans, even elected officials, do it all the time. I just don’t know how many more lies. I can listen to.

Trump hasn't included in his administration? He seems to have consistently and deliberately chosen the least qualified and most wacky individuals.

Infuriating part is that it’s nowhere near being over.

All that's required is that he is a Trumpist.
