[quote=jsteele]I posted some time back about John Bolton, Trump's National Security Advisor, who was previously on the board of an anti-Muslim organization. Now Bolton has appointed Fred Fleitz as his chief of staff. Fleitz has been the Vice President of the Center for Security Policy which the SPLC has designated as a hate group and the ADL has condemned for its anti-Muslim extremism.

There are several articles out today describing Fleitz's anti-Muslim positions:

[quote] Fleitz is a senior vice-president at Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy, an Islamophobic think tank that claims the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the highest ranks of the American government — and called for a new House Un-American Activities Committee to investigate the Islamist “Fifth Columnists” that were wielding influence over the Obama administration. The think tank’s leadership has also claimed that Saddam Hussein was behind the Oklahoma City bombing; that Obama incorporated the Islamic crescent into the logo of a new missile-defense group; and that Chris Christie’s decision to appoint a Muslim-American to New Jersey’s state judiciary might well qualify as an act of treason.

[quote] According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the group was founded Gaffney, a former Reagan official, in 1988 and has morphed from a “hawkish think tank” to a “conspiracy-oriented mouthpiece for the growing anti-Muslim movement in the United States.” CSP has also reportedly been banned from CPAC.

It is outrageous that outspoken bigots such as Bolton and Fleitz are serving at the highest levels of our government. [/quote]
