"From 2017 through 2020, Antoni posted comments on Twitter (now called X) that included "sexually degrading attacks on Kamala Harris, derogatory remarks about gay people, conspiracy theories, and crude insults aimed at critics of President Donald Trump," CNN reports. CNN confirmed that all the comments came from the same account, although they were posted under various usernames and display names. The names were all aliases, but the biographies associated with them were similar to Antoni's, according to the outlet."
"In a March 2020 post, he denied the existence of LGBTQ+ people, writing, "There is only one sexual orientation - everything else is a disorientation." He also made "sexually graphic anti-gay taunts at CNN anchors Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper, both of whom are gay," CNN reports. In 2019, when Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota tweeted in support of "LGBTQIA+" people, Antoni alleged that she is married to her brother, a false conspiracy theory."
E.J. Antoni is Trump's nominee to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, chosen after Commissioner Erika McEntarfer was fired following a weak jobs report. The president claimed the numbers were "manipulated" without evidence. Antoni works at the Heritage Foundation, creator of Project 2025; the administration has implemented recommendations like downsizing the federal government. From 2017 to 2020 Antoni posted social-media comments including sexually degrading attacks on Kamala Harris, derogatory remarks about gay people, conspiracy theories, and crude insults toward critics of President Donald Trump. In March 2020 he wrote, "There is only one sexual orientation - everything else is a disorientation." Multiple posts originated from one account under various usernames and similar biographies.
