Bari Weiss and her wife are in the Epstein files. Weiss’s wife was VERY close to Epstein, so much so that she shared with Epstein her first encounter with. See her wife’s enthusiasm to meet Epstein here. In 2018. When everyone already knew he was a pedophile.
@CalltoActivism The take away is Trump. He has no ability to match people to highly specific and critical positions. He might as well just give all the jobs to Barron, because Trump is bored at governing.
BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! Trump's Pentagon hires a convicted Jan. 6th insurrectionist to work in a top position with access to highly classified military information.
And it gets so much worse...
According to bombshell reporting from The Washington Post, Elias Irizarry has been given a powerful job inside the Defense Department’s Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict office.
Irizarry took part in the deadly Capitol riot when he was 19 years old and rather than reassess his life after he was convicted for his crimes, he chose to double down on MAGA fascism. He ran unsuccessfully for a South Carolina state House seat as a Republican and now he's bringing his noxious politics to the halls of the Pentagon.
And Irizarry was not a minor insurrectionist. He was part of the hardcore band of Trumpers who entered into the actual Capitol building through a broken window. He was wielding a metal pole as a weapon, but didn't strike anyone that we know of.
When the FBI searched his phone, they discovered “a gap of data between January 1, 2021 and January 8, 2021, which suggests that Irizarry deleted information from his cell phone pertaining to his involvement on January 6, 2021." He was sentenced to two weeks in jail and was eventually pardoned by Trump.
The Post reports that DoD staff have "raised alarm" about Irizarry's appointment and "question how anyone convicted in the assault on American democracy could be trusted for such a sensitive role in the U.S. government." They were forced to voice these concerns anonymously, because the administration has a reputation for vindictive retribution against anyone who speaks out against regime decisions.
Irizarry will be working inside the office's irregular warfare and counterterrorism section despite having zero experience for the role. His only "qualification" is that he's a MAGA loyalist who sought to destroy our sacred tradition of a peaceful transfer of power. For the Trump administration, that's good enough.
The section that he'll be working in deals with embassy security and hostage rescue among other duties. According to two people familiar with the work speaking to the Post, it's some of the "most delicate that the Pentagon perform." When a crisis strikes, he will be totally unprepared.
“In the case of rescue/extraction missions, it can place our special operators in some of the most complex and dangerous environments we ask of them,” said one source. “To put someone so junior and new to DOD, and with such a checkered background, into such a sensitive portfolio raises serious questions for leadership.”
This hiring represents a convergence between two destructive Trumpian trends: hiring utter incompetents and politicizing nonpartisan institutions. This administration routinely hires people who are completely incapable of doing their jobs because they only care about MAGA loyalty. The result is a weakened, ideologically poisoned government.
When Democrat retake power, we must sweep every last one of these cretins out of our bureaucracies.
Please ❤️ and share to demand that this traitor be fired!
