"Jeremy Carl, President Donald Trump's nominee to head the Bureau of International Organization Affairs, deleted thousands of social media posts before his nomination. One was a May 2023 post calling for the killing of Randi Weingarten, the lesbian president of the American Federation of Teachers, a major American labor union representing over 1.8 million professionals in education, healthcare, and public service. In a May 2023 post, Carl wrote, "If the U.S. were a serious nation, Weingarten would be tried for crimes against America's children and would get the death penalty.""
"Carl deleted this and thousands of other posts, including numerous racist posts saying that white people had "already surrendered" to Black people and ones that pushed the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, an antisemitic and white supremacist conspiracy theory that claims that a cabal of powerful Jewish people want to "replace" white Americans and Westerners with non-white immigrants and people of color (especially Black people and Muslims) to fundamentally change the nation's racial makeup and political culture."
Jeremy Carl was nominated by President Donald Trump to head the Bureau of International Organization Affairs. Carl deleted thousands of social media posts before his nomination, including a May 2023 post calling for the killing of Randi Weingarten. Randi Weingarten is the lesbian president of the American Federation of Teachers, a union representing over 1.8 million education, healthcare, and public service professionals. Carl deleted additional posts that included racist statements about white people and posts promoting the Great Replacement conspiracy theory. At a Senate hearing Carl said people of color are "erasing white culture" but struggled to define the term. Senator John Curtis announced he would vote against Carl because of his history of antisemitic comments, putting the nomination at risk.
