Summary
Trump’s nominee for U.S. Attorney in Washington, Ed Martin, has a history of racist and derogatory remarks.
He has falsely claimed Kamala Harris is not truly Black, accused Planned Parenthood of targeting Black communities, and misrepresented Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy.
Martin has called teachers’ unions harmful, pushed abortion bans, and made inflammatory comments about immigration and crime.
Senate Democrats are urging an investigation into his use of office for political threats. Despite controversy, the White House defends his nomination as part of Trump’s law-and-order agenda.
On brand. Birds of a feather, blah blah blah. I’ll be surprised when one of his picks DON’T say something racist or derogatory.
