The wife of Bill Shine former Fox News co-president who just joined the Trump administration as White House communications chief has a lengthy history of defending racists, promoting unfounded anti-vaccination conspiracies, writing about Islamic Insanity, and making racially-charged remarks on her social media pages.
Darla Shine made these remarks primarily on her Twitter account, @darlashine, which was deleted as soon as the White House announced that her husband was officially joining the Trump administration.
But not before Mediaite took screenshots.
On her personal website, Shine (who, like her husband, did not respond to requests for comment) says that she got her start in media by working as a TV reporter and producer. After giving birth to her first child, that site asserts, she opted to leave the office and become a stay-at-home mom while her husband Bill Shine stayed in the news industry.
She eventually jumped back into media authoring the book Happy Housewives in 2005 and starting a blog called, Darla Shines Happy Housewives Club. On this site, Shine advocated for stay-at-home moms, whom she claims are the most disrespected people in America.
I am proof that housewives dont lose their brain or their dreams after they give birth, Darla Shine wrote on the About page of her blog. The days of the housewife hag image are over.

(1,148 posts)What little media coverage there is of this focuses on her "n-word" statements, but her Twitter posts were saved by someone and they contain a lot of memes and ideas used by the far right.
She posted a meme about Africa, with pictures of huts, implying they were backward.
She posted repeated news stories about whites being victimized by black people.
It was the sort of stuff you see in a neo-Nazi twitter feed.
