Trump Appointee Carl Higbie Resigns Following racist, sexist, and anti gay remarks

This guy was appointee of what exactly?

" He was appointed to the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) in 2017 to direct the public image and messaging of the federal department that manages millions of Americans in volunteer services like AmeriCorps and Senior Corps."

Oh looky... another government BS dept or whatever that is probably completely unnecessary and wasteful.
Glad he resigned... I've heard his comments, and while he is entitled to his opinion about race, religion, etc.... Some of his comments were spot on, even though I think he's way off base about "Black America" (he blames blacks for the welfare state it seems, but that falls solely on his government). His comments about soldiers and PTSD is what really has me off... (I can totally understand a soldiers anti-muslim mentality after their gov't sends them off to war for a decade in middle eastern countries) but to state that fellow soldiers aren't actually suffering from PTSD is asinine, to say the least.

Now.... everyone can try to connect some dots, as they always do, to mean this is a mirror image of Trump. But that's just not so. Trump appointed a decorated solider that supported his campaign to some fluffy type non position. As soon as that guy publically makes an [BLEEP] of himself, he resigns... (by request no doubt)
These allegations about Trump being a racist are backed by the thinnest of arguments and almost always via guilty by association.
I can't throw a rock and not hit someone who isn't racist, have strong religious views on Islam or LGBT rights, or prejudice in some way or another.... And some of my friends are probably racist, or anti-religion, or anti-non religion.... Doesn't make me any of those things.

Anywho.... this is a super non story in the middle of the Democrats causing a shutdown and another non story to try to distract from the nothing that is this Russia collusion nonsense, and all the other garbage the Dems have tried to boobytrap this presidency.
