A Democratic senator has asked newly confirmed Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to explain the department’s racist social media presence and assure the agency has not been “infiltrated by violent extremists.”
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., pointed to a March bulletin from Colorado law enforcement analysts that was unearthed by The Intercept last month. It warned that DHS posts using language popular with neo-Nazis could inspire acts of far-right violence within the U.S. as well as prompt white supremacists to join the agency.
I think that part of our problems come from people being too polite. Someone will say something completely stupid, and people don’t want to make a fuss so they let it slide. Peer pressure is like the only thing that changes minds.
For anyone that’s ever seen Speak No Evil, an awful lot of the Tone Police running the media behave almost exactly the same way…gawd forbid we should ever make a Republican or a conservative feel uncomfortable for what they say and do and what their intentions are…
I’m trying to remember who it was, but I remember seeing some butthurt Republican just recently squawking over someone calling them a racist. They want to be free to be racist AF, but don’t you dare call them one! That’s like the worst thing someone can do!
