Ah, that is code for “it is totally about race.”
Hope that helps clear up any confusion!
How do you know what the job requires?You didn’t know this position existed before now. It’s fundraising and pencil pushing. That you guys think it requires some 007 type figure is so weird.
Maybe. Or maybe he showed such excellence during his work on the campaign that they feel he can do what sounds like a clerical job.Ok but do you think the administration could have found someone who is a bit more qualified, maybe has years of experience in the field?
You'll have to ask those conservatives you're quoting. My comments have been about hiring unqualified people, but the Biden administration seemed to apply it mostly to non-white people (Karine Jean-Pierre, for example).Wait so conservatives are lying when they say that “DEI hires” are about hiring unqualified people and not about race?
It really just means “hiring non-white people”? That’s what conservatives want to stop when they say they want to end DEI?
Is it?It is still a "lead" position
They don't care. As long as Trump gets his ego stroked and hurts brown people that's all MAGA cares about.Your lies are the most blatant of any Trumper on this site.
This position isn’t “filling out grant paperwork”. It’s deciding where to send those grants. That’s not an entry level position.
It is. He is leading the Department of Homeland Security’s Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships which has $18 million dollar grant funding from DHS, so someone leading that group should have that kind of experience, not to mention experience in security and terrorism.Is it?

Good job MAGA voters
"The inexperienced 22-year-old reportedly tasked by Donald Trump with tackling U.S. extremism was working as a neighborhood gardener just five years ago and in a grocery store as recently as August 2023, the Daily Beast can reveal.
Thomas Fugate, who graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio just 12 months ago, is currently heading up the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships at the DHS, as first reported by ProPublica Tuesday.
...
But according to the youngster’s LinkedIn page, Fugate has almost no experience in this field—and in 2020 was working as a self-employed ‘Landscape Business Owner.’
...
Fugate set up a political Instagram account last year, where his profile contains the motto, “Men used to do great things. I believe they still can."
You’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel when you have to turn to poaching a part-time employee from MoveOn and MSNBC.How is a former national spokesperson for a major political organization and prior to that a policy analyst unqualified to the Press Secretary?

I just told you.I ask again, how was she unqualified?
I didn't say he was an administrator. I said the job is administrative. Most such jobs are clerical, "coordinating." Sounds to me like a really bright young man doing a really bright young man's job.
From his photo, I thought he's white.
Ask the people who worked there with her.How is a former national spokesperson for a major political organization and prior to that a policy analyst unqualified to the Press Secretary?
WOW! He must really be bright!It is. He is leading the Department of Homeland Security’s Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships which has $18 million dollar grant funding from DHS, so someone leading that group should have that kind of experience, not to mention experience in security and terrorism.
AI is at least suspect, if not worse. But maybe the guy is a genuine wunderkind.Some of his job description from grok
It is rather odd to appoint someone so young to head a department.You didn’t know this position existed before now. It’s fundraising and pencil pushing. That you guys think it requires some 007 type figure is so weird.
I can understand if you don’t quite get the nuance, but this is a small office within DHS not a department unto itself.It is rather odd to appoint someone so young to head a department.
I just told you.
If nothing else, the folks on the right have turned it into a clerical job. It never ceases to amaze me the shit the right comes up with to protect their own. Trump appointed him, it must be ok.Maybe. Or maybe he showed such excellence during his work on the campaign that they feel he can do what sounds like a clerical job.
