[quote=Anonymous]Why? I guess because our elected leadership says it's ok.  This man who said that white men must be in charge if you want things to work was confirmed by Congress earlier this year.

Trump administration taps right-wing ideologue for senior State Dept job
By Daphne Psaledakis and Simon Lewis
WASHINGTON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - The Trump administration has appointed to serve as the top public diplomacy official at the State Department a former speech writer for President Donald Trump with a history of doubts over U.S. foreign policy towards Taiwan and inflammatory comments on women and minorities, at one point saying that "competent white men must be in charge."
Darren Beattie has been named the acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs, a senior State Department official said, a role that determines the tone of America's public messaging in the world. Beattie requires Senate confirmation to serve on a permanent basis.
"Thanks to President Trump’s miraculous victory, we have entered the beginning of a new Golden Age—of success, prosperity, legitimacy, and accountability. I have been given the great honor of serving once again in Trump’s administration, this time in the Department of State," Beattie said on X in a statement posted by Revolver News, a right-wing media outlet that he founded which regularly promotes conspiracy theories.
Beattie's earlier social media posts have come under the spotlight, prompting a warning from Jewish advocacy group Anti-Defamation League which said he "has no place in a role representing American values abroad."
"Throughout the years, Beattie has participated in several conversations and events organized by notorious racists, antisemites and white supremacists and has continuously promoted an array of conspiracy theories, including those related to the Jan. 6 insurrection and the "Great Replacement" theory, embraced by antisemites and white supremacists," ADL said.
[b]Beattie was terminated as a speech writer for Trump after The Washington Post in 2018 reported that he had spoken at a conference attended by well-known white nationalists.
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS
In a post last October, Beattie wrote that America's national ideology is based on "coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men" and that "Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work."[/b]
