This asshole needed to fired




"Darren Beattie was named by former president Donald Trump to the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad in November 2020. In a letter Friday, Gautam Raghavan, deputy director of the White House office of presidential personnel, told Beattie that he must turn in his resignation by the end of business Friday and if he did not, his position would be terminated," reported Mariana Alfaro. "Beattie confirmed the White House’s letter in a Friday afternoon tweet, saying the request for his resignation was 'better than a Pulitzer [Prize].'"

"On Sunday, the former president issued a statement praising Beattie for pushing his baseless claims about Jan. 6, when the pro-Trump mob invaded the Capitol to stop the affirmation of Joe Biden’s electoral college win, an attack that left five dead and 140 members of law enforcement injured," said the report. "'Because of Darren’s work, and others, Americans aren’t buying into the Unselect Committee’s attempts to smear 75 million (plus!) Americans,' Trump said, in an apparent reference to his 2020 voters. He received about 74 million votes; Biden got about 81 million."

The main purpose of the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad is to memorialize victims of the Holocaust.
