    Trump appointee Carl Higbie resigns as public face of agency that runs AmeriCorps after KFile review of racist, sexist, anti-Muslim and anti-LGBT comments on the radio
    http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/18/politics/kfile-carl-higbie-on-the-radio/index.html

    "Trump administration appointee Carl Higbie resigned Thursday as chief of external affairs for the federal government's volunteer service organization after a CNN KFile review of racist, sexist, anti-Muslim and anti-LGBT comments he made on the radio.
    "Effective immediately, Carl Higbie has resigned as Chief of External Affairs at CNCS," Samantha Jo Warfield, a spokesperson for CNCS, said in a statement."

    Hot damn this guy is the full works, racist, sexist, homophobic, and Islamophobic comments. All in one special!


    Some samples of his greatest hits,
    And it wouldn't be a low IQ far righter w/out some birther nonsense,



    Yes. Nothing illegal about this language. Just don't expect to keep your job when you sound like a StormFront poster. Just like this nutjob who had to resign today. Another one of Trump's "best people" I assume?

    And to add insult to injury it was due to a CNN report.

    After viewing Higbie's "performances" on FAUX and other networks, this is not a surprise.

    I guess I'm different - in my world, the "honorable thing" would have been not to say those things in the first place.
    Whatever.

    I would doubt any ever went their entire lives without slamming something and I'm sure many people today hold back what they really think. I'd be amazed if there is a single person on the planet who can say they don't dislike XY or Z

    I would hope you hold all people to the same standard, there are quite a few college professors, liberal news anchors and activists who have said worse only to have their fee speech defended.

    Private people or private drunks in the neighborhood bar can say WTFTW . People holding public office either elected or appointed need to keep their prejudices to themselves and never let their prejudices infect their actions or decisions in office.

    Everyone should remember that in America only approved thoughts are allowed to be expressed without serious negative consequences.

    You mean like saying “you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”

    I'm sure you went after that person right?

    You’re right, it was the talking heads, I stand corrected. Regarding what you said n post #12, believing that everyone has biases and bigoted tendencies, I’d rather know what they are than not know.

    So a head of a US agency can talk like some prejudiced POS and thatbjs ok with you?

    You know my views on Russia right? Should I be named the ambassador to Russia?

    No more than an anti Trump, pro Clinton FBI guy should be leading probes into them.

    Looks like Trump needs to do a little more extreme vetting. I don't know how someone like this doesn't have a reputation.

    You're welcome to the job (ambassador to Russia), I don't want it. If there were no racists in the country it would be empty of people. We sure wouldn't have had any local, State, or national politicians.
