Trump State Dept Nominee Deleted Tweets Calling for Violence Against Democrats
Jeremy Carl, President Donald Trump’s top nominee for a State Department position, deleted thousands of social media posts before his nomination, many of which advocated violence toward Democrats.
If approved by the Senate, Carl would oversee U.S. policy for the UN and other multinational organizations, managing over 100 U.S. diplomats around the globe, CNN reports.
Carl targeted Democrats and left-leaning individuals in his posts, calling for some to receive the “death penalty” for their views. In one post, he suggested to his followers that opposition to Democrats was a matter of life or death.
“There is no ‘peaceful coexistence’ we are going to have when our opposition is led by people like this,” Carl wrote in one post responding to comments from then-Rep. Cori Bush (D-Missouri). “We either win or die.”
Carl has a history of downplaying right-wing violence — including the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol building. Carl dismissed criticisms of that attack on social media, even suggesting that people facing arrest and conviction for their participation in the attack were somehow being treated worse than Black Americans were during the Jim Crow era.
