Trump pick Sam Clovis stoked birther conspiracy, called Eric Holder a 'racist black'
Source: CNN
Sam Clovis, Donald Trump's pick to be chief scientist for the Department of Agriculture, pushed unfounded theories about then-President Barack Obama's upbringing and called then-Attorney General Eric Holder a "racist black," a CNN KFile review of Clovis's writings and radio broadcasts during 2012 and 2013 has found.

"For over a decade, Obama allowed his publisher to carry a biography that had him born in Kenya. Only after beginning his pursuit of public office did he 'correct' the entry," Clovis wrote. (The literary agent who edited the biography has said the error was hers, and that she made it with no direct communication with Obama.)

In a April 2012 blog post, Clovis expressed his belief that Obama wanted to rule as a dictator and enslave his opponents.

In a September 2012 episode of his online radio program "Serious Civics with Sam Clovis," Clovis observed that Obama appeared "happy" after the attack on the American embassy in Benghazi, Libya that month.

And besides calling Holder a "racist black" and a "racist bigot," he called Tom Perez a "racist Latino."

Seriously, the supply of RWNJs is unending. And obviously the Heriturd Fuckdation or whichever crazies are doing the actual picks are on a mission to stock Federal agencies with the worst of the lot.
Our Federal Government is being infested with crackpot insurrectionists out to wreck the agencies they are heading.
In any normal administration this type of toxic idiot would never, ever be nominated. The Senate should turn him down, flat but these days, who knows? It had better at least be 50-50 with the dump admin forced to trot punce over there to break the tie.
Oh, and USDA employees are on suicide watch.
NO NORMALIZATION OF WHAT THIS GUY HAS SAID AND WHAT HE STANDS FOR, LET ALONG HAVING AN UNQUALIFIED NON-SCIENTIST OCCUPY THE HEAD SCIENTIST POSITION AT USDA.
he's loyal to dump--the most important qualification for the con.
And a racist, bigoted climate chance denier. Unfortunately, that's what qualifies the crazies for high-level positions in the dump admin these days.
Oh, and if the dump admin had any shame whatsoever they would withdraw this nomination once his racist utterances were revealed. The fact that they won't speaks volumes. They are operating in the 19th century.
Sam Clovis worked for Rick Perry.
Therefore Sam Clovis is a scientist.
