A former Fox News producer with a history of racist social media posts is now working at the very federal agency tasked with fighting racism and discrimination.
Connor Clegg, a former producer on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show The Ingraham Angle, now works in the communications department of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, according to a report from Talking Points Memo.

EEOC employees said it was “unsettling” that Clegg, who has repeatedly come under fire for racist remarks and discriminatory posts, now holds a role at the agency created in 1965 as part of the landmark Civil Rights Act.

It seemingly isn’t Clegg’s first government gig, either. In April, he posted a photo on Instagram of himself swearing in on a Bible at the Department of Labor with the caption: “It’s an honor to work for President Trump on behalf of the American People.”
