"Last we heard, Ingrassia's nomination to lead the Office of Special Counsel was yanked after key GOP senators decided he was too racist for their taste. Yesterday, POLITICO's Daniel Lippman broke news about what's next for Ingrassia. He's leaving his role as White House liaison to the Department of Homeland Security. No, he's not going somewhere to lick his wounds - he's getting a title bump: to Deputy General Counsel of the General Services Administration."
"There, Ingrassia wrote, "MLK Jr. was the 1960s George Floyd and his 'holiday' should be ended and tossed into the seventh circle of hell where it belongs." And, "No moulignon holidays ... From kwanza [sic] to mlk jr day to black history month to Juneteenth," then added: "Every single one needs to be eviscerated." And of course, the admission, "I do have a Nazi streak in me from time to time, I will admit it.""
Paul Ingrassia's Office of Special Counsel nomination was withdrawn after GOP senators objected to racist text messages. He served as White House liaison to DHS and is being reassigned to Deputy General Counsel at the General Services Administration. The move represents a promotion despite prior links to antisemitic extremists, a reported sexual harassment investigation, and explicit racist and white supremacist statements in private chats. The messages attacked MLK Jr., Black holidays, and celebrated a "Nazi streak." Critics view the appointment as prioritizing loyalty and political alignment over qualifications and accountability, noting his recent law graduation and recent bar admission.
