CNN’s Van Jones laid into President Donald Trump and one of the newest appointees in his administration, Darren Beattie .
On Sunday, it was reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will appoint Beattie as acting Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy. Beattie was fired from his speechwriting position during Trump’s first term after he was found to have attended a meeting with White nationalists. Now, however, that does not seem to be an impediment to serving in Trump’s second administration.
Shortly after word broke of Beattie’s appointment, a tweet he posted in October began making the rounds.
“Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work,” he wrote . “Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.”

LOL! I work with several incompetent white men. And the women working here run rings around them
“Darren Beattie has no place in a role representing American values abroad as Acting Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs,” the Anti-Defamation League said on the social network X. “Throughout the years, Beattie has participated in several conversations and events organized by notorious racists, antisemites and white supremacists and has continuously promoted an array of conspiracy theories, including those related to the Jan. 6 insurrection and the ‘Great Replacement’ theory, embraced by antisemites and white supremacists.”
I wonder if any of the White House press corp will ask Karoline Leavitt why her boss put a racist in a leadership role in the state department.
I don;t understand why he got fired in 2018. I thought he was the kind of people trmp likes to have around him
Darrin Beattie entered the Capitol building on Jan 6 2021 as part of the insurrectionist mob.
But isn't he one of those good people trmp brags about?
he spoke at a conference attended by White nationalists
That makes him a white nationalist?
I'm declaring this article bullshit!
His history of racist comments and attending white nationalist events makes him a white nationalist
I guess that's not a white nationalist statement?
Your article only claims that "White Nationals" attended the same conference he did.
The only one I know of making racist comments is Van Jones.
I think you missed something
The threshold of being a white nationalist has changed to something similar to what makes you a racist. If you don't drink there kool-aid they can call everyone names.
