Paul Ingrassia Withdraws Nomination After Racist Chat
"I will be withdrawing myself from Thursday's HSGAC hearing to lead the Special Counsel because unfortunately I do not have enough Republican votes at this time, he wrote. I appreciate the overwhelming support that I have received throughout this process and will continue to serve President Trump and this administration to Make America Great Again!"
"In January 2024, he wrote of former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy: Never trust a chinaman or Indian and then added: NEVER, the texts show."
"A month later, discussing why some Republicans feel that Democrats make Black people into victims, the texts show Ingrassia remarked: Blacks behave that way because that's their natural state You can't change them. He then added, according to the chat: Proof: all of Africa is a shithole, and will always be that way."
Paul Ingrassia withdrew his nomination to lead the Office of Special Counsel after revelations of racist text messages from Young Republican leaders that included slurs and praise for Adolf Hitler. The texts show Ingrassia describing himself as having a Nazi streak and using derogatory language about Vivek Ramaswamy and Black people, including comments stating "Never trust a chinaman or Indian" and calling Africa a "shithole." Ingrassia announced he lacked enough Republican votes to proceed. His lawyer sought to cast doubt on the messages' authenticity, citing concerns about AI manipulation.
