A Biden State Department official tasked with combatting “systemic racism” displayed her far-left bonafides in a series of since-deleted social media posts, unearthed by The Daily Wire, in which she blasted Trump supporters as racist and praised a vitriolic anti-police rant from a left-wing activist. Desiree Cormier Smith is the State Department’s first ever Special Representative for Racial Equity and Justice. Smith, a former employee of George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, is also a far-left radical, as evidenced by a trove of posts on her now-deleted X profile between October 2020 and January 2021, before she was appointed to her post in 2022. Smith, who is tasked with building “global partnerships to combat systemic racism, discrimination, and xenophobia,” was named to her position as the Democratic administration pursued a broad diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda. Now, she could be relieved of her position as the incoming Trump administration pledges to purge DEI from the federal government. “We need this kind of honesty and accountability across all our government institutions!!” Smith said in response to a vitriolic rant in 2020 where a left-wing activist named Keiajah Brooks called cops “soulless white people” at a Kansas City Police Commission meeting. “I stan,” she said in another post in response to the video of the diatribe, also requesting someone to put music in the background of the clip. “I’m not nice and I don’t seek to be respectable. I’m not asking you all for anything because y’all can’t and won’t be both my savior and my oppressor,” the leftist says in the video while speaking at the meeting. “So I’m not here begging anything of soulless white folks.” Brooks went on to launch personal attacks against the members of the commission, telling one that he was an “out-of-touch and disconnected old white person with nothing but pure apathy seeping through the bulging veins of his paper-colored skin.” Smith was so enamored with the clip that she asked someone to add backing music to the video, with one user fulfilling her request. “i’m not asking yall for anything bc yall can’t and won’t be both my savior and my opporessor…” – KJ Brooks ??? here you go @DesireeMCormier… Kansas City Police Commission Board Meeting being ETHERED by Ms. Brooks ??????????????????? pic.twitter.com/HZ7Yv1qZ0C — ™️i&i (@RasTefferi) October 28, 2020 Smith was happy with the product, calling the activist in the video, Keiajah Brooks, “Queen Brooks.” Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), who serves as the Chair of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, told The Daily Wire that Smith’s comments were divisive and harmful. “The State Department exists to protect and advance the interests of the American people at home and abroad. However, many of Ms. Smith’s comments only serve to divide Americans and damage our cause and credibility on the world stage,” McCaul charged before reaffirming his support for Trump’s goal of purging the woke agenda from the federal government. “I’m certain President-elect Trump will dismantle President Biden’s woke agenda at State and restore the department to its original mission of creating a more secure, democratic, and prosperous world benefiting Americans and the international community.” The State Department did not return a request for comment. The remarks from Smith, who makes over $180,000 a year in her State Department role, were just a sample of the many posts she made pushing far-left views and denigrating white people and Trump. “Black Voters Saved White America Again and You’re Very Welcome,” she said in one post after the 2020 presidential election. “Interesting how non-Americans are able to see and name this much more clearly than many (white) Americans,” she wrote in a quote tweet to a post arguing that Trump’s 2020 candidacy was evidence that “the US is a deeply broken society.” “Very very real,” Smith said in response to a tweet that read, “The fact that this presidential race is even this close proves that white supremacy is very real in America.” She also signaled her agreement that racial minorities are locked in “an abusive dynamic” in which they are “blamed for not overcoming the concerted racism of white ppl.” In yet another tweet condemning white Trump supporters as racist, Smith urged her white friends to “miss me with the ‘I can’t believe it was so close’ texts and go talk to your racist families and high school friends. We did the work. Now it’s your turn.” The Open Society Foundations alum directed her ire at Trump in some tweets, including one in which she signaled her belief that Trump was a “textbook” example of a fascist. She quoted a left-wing organization in another post, appearing to affirm the belief that “Donald Trump is a blessing to dictators around the world” and is “creating a global network of gangsters.” Smith advocated for radical policies as well, calling for reparations and an end to the electoral college system, which she alleged was based on racism. “We begin to repair our nations through reparations and healing,” one post read, with another saying, “Racism and slavery are at the root of this peculiar way to elect a president. In the 21st Century, it still submerges the Black vote. It’s past time to get rid of the Electoral College.” In one post, Smith claimed that she was the victim of the type of “subtle racism” that “kills Black women” after a nurse didn’t escort her to the restroom when she had been sedated for a minor surgery. Smith garnered headlines following her appointment when it was revealed that she had accused white diplomats of being too “protective” of the United States in a podcast interview. Non-white diplomats, according to Smith, “come with a certain humility that I would say that a lot of white foreign service officers lack.” The far-left official could now be one of the bureaucrats who is fired upon President Trump’s return to the White House.

The House Homeland Security Committee will interview the fired FEMA supervisor who ordered relief workers in Florida to skip homes with Trump flags or signs, a committee spokesman told The Daily Wire.  The committee on Tuesday will interview Marn’i Washington, who was fired last month by FEMA after The Daily Wire reported that she had ordered relief workers in Lake Placid to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed after Hurricane Milton. Since the story broke, Washington has claimed that FEMA made her a scapegoat, and that it is agency policy to skip “politically hostile” homes.  Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green (R-TN) requested Friday that Washington schedule a transcribed interview to discuss her accusations against FEMA and her guidance in Florida.  “While FEMA may maintain that this was an isolated incident, you suggested in a recent interview that this practice of discrimination was widespread throughout FEMA, including in disaster response efforts in North Carolina,” Green wrote. “Government discrimination against American citizens based on a political sign or flag promoting a particular candidate is not only an outrageous abuse of power and a serious betrayal of the public trust, but a direct violation of the First Amendment.” Whistleblowers told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes were skipped in Lake Placid due to Washington’s guidance. FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell confirmed this number during congressional testimony and said that agency staff had visited the neglected homes to register survivors after the story broke.  Criswell told lawmakers that the incident was isolated, contradicting Washington’s comments in media interviews and allegations from other whistleblowers. One whistleblower told the House Oversight Committee that a FEMA supervisor in Georgia directed a family to remove Trump campaign signage from their home, saying it was not “looked kindly” on by the agency.  CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE On Tuesday, lawmakers on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee revealed in a letter to Homeland Security Inspector General Joseph Cuffari that they had heard whistleblower reports from North Carolina alleging whole neighborhoods had been skipped over if there were three or more Trump signs in them.  “In North Carolina, the Committee is aware of reports of FEMA employees skipping any home that displayed a ‘Make America Great Again,’ ‘Drain the Swamp,’ ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ or Trump campaign sign. If the FEMA field team encountered three or more of these signs, the field team could abandon the entire neighborhood without notifying hurricane victims of assistance available to them,” Committee Chair Sam Graves and Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) wrote.  FEMA has yet to respond to any of the follow up allegations, but maintain that they are still investigating Washington’s guidance.

Sports broadcaster/podcast host Stephen A. Smith told Democrats “nobody wants to hear what you have to say” after President Joe Biden’s sweeping pardon of son Hunter Biden. During “The Stephen A. Smith Show” on Monday, the host said Biden’s reversal of course to pardon Hunter for any federal crimes he “committed or may have committed” over the span of 11 years has essentially neutered his party. “You were intending to do this all along, which, again, is no problem. But it doesn’t make you any less full of it,” Smith told his audience. “Because when you look at Donald Trump and how the Democrats went after him, you do understand that the Democrats are no longer in a position to say anything, right?” “You can talk till the cows come home,” he added. “You whistling it to the wind. Nobody wants to hear what you have to say right now. I’m not talking about you; I’m talking about your party. Because when you pardon your son, going back on your word, telling the American people there was no way that you were going to pardon him when everybody and their grandmamma knew you were lying, but then hold you accountable for it.” “And now you’ve confirmed what people believe, that you’re probably going to be lying about that very thing that you said you wouldn’t do for your son,” Smith continued. “And as a result, now you have brought more skepticism in the direction of the Democratic Party.” Stephen A Smith declares no one wants to hear from the Democrat party after witnessing the hypocrisy of Joe Biden pardoning Hunter Biden: SAS: “You were intending to do this all along, which, again, is no problem.

CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “He [Hunter] was singled out because he had an illegal gun and tax evasion charges, not because he was the president’s son. And I honestly don’t care. I just want Democrats to stop acting like they are on this moral high ground politically when they have shown us they’re not.” “You know, whether it’s skipping the primary process when Biden stepped down and things like Biden pardoning his son,” he added. “Stop acting like y’all are the pure party and Republicans aren’t. And it also shows me elected officials can do whatever they want as long as they have the political will and courage to do it.” Barstool founder Dave Portnoy echoed a similar sentiment, unleashing a rant on the Democrats  — whom he said have completely lost the moral high ground they have attempted to tout for the last decade — after Biden pardoned his son. “What the Democrats have done … have taken this moral high ground that ‘we’re the righteous party. The truth, honesty, integrity, and Trump is a threat to Democracy. He’s Hitler and he’s a Nazi,'” Portnoy said. “And then the Democrats, whether it’s the primary or whether it’s this [Hunter pardon], time and again, they’re worse than anything Trump’s ever done.” Related: ‘Remember Bill Clinton’: Stephen A.
