"Jeremy Carl, President Donald Trump's pick for a top State Department post, sputtered through his Senate confirmation hearing Thursday when challenged by a senator who characterized him as a legit white nationalist. Carl is a senior fellow at the conservative Claremont Institute, who has made incendiary statements about Jews, women, race and the great replacement theory that suggests white Americans are being replaced by immigrants in the work force, according to The Washington Post."
"Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) posted a clip of him questioning Carl on his extremist beliefs. Murphy posted to X, Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the erasure of white culture. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views."
"MURPHY: Like what? CARL: Um, lemme think about this. Um, you know, Senator, if you were to look at the, uh, book, by one of your Senate colleagues, Born Fighting, about the sort of Scotch-Irish military culture and certain, you know, pride that went with that, that would be one example. Obviously you can have sub-elements of that culture. You could have Italians, you could have Irish, and those are in many ways more"
Jeremy Carl was nominated to be Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs and would oversee relations with international organizations. Carl is a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute and has a history of incendiary statements about Jews, women, race and the great replacement theory. Senator Chris Murphy posted a clip questioning Carl about his extremist beliefs and his views on the erasure of white culture. During the hearing, Carl struggled to articulate what he meant by white identity, citing Anglo-derived and Scotch-Irish cultural examples and then shifting to ethnic sub-elements.
