E.J. Antoni regularly posted sexually charged attacks on former Vice President Kamala Harris and disparaged gays and Trump critics on a now-defunct social media account. Antoni operated a PhDofbombsaway Twitter account from 2017–2020 that frequently published pro-MAGA content and provocative messages. President Trump nominated Antoni to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics after firing Dr. Erika McEntarfer, whom he accused of manipulating jobs data following a poor July report. August's employment report added just 22,000 jobs. Antoni also appears in multiple videos of the crowd on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021. The White House issued a statement backing Antoni and cited plans to improve survey response rates and modernize BLS data collection.
