CNN commentator Van Jones condemned President Donald Trump's appointment of Darren Beattie as acting Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy, highlighting Beattie's controversial past. Beattie was dismissed in Trump's first term for associating with white nationalists, yet he is now reinstated, illustrating a notable shift in the administration's ideology. Fellow commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin noted that Biden's second term appears to contrast sharply with his previous approach, as represented by the choice of Beattie—someone previously considered unqualified. This transition reflects Trump's priorities and the values he promotes within his administration.
This is shameless and despicable. They are saying they only want quality... And then they bring in people out of the trash can.
I think it underscores how different Trump 2.0 in the second term will be than the first.
