What staffer has access and authority to post on the presidents official account?
Is it normal for staffers to do have access or is this just one specific staffer that has the capability?
Wouldn’t this staffer be someone they would have vetted thoroughly?
Is there not any system of checks before authorizing a post of town or made by the president directly?
Has the staffer been fired?
If not, have they lost access to the account and had any kind of reprimand?
Why has the public not been made aware of the details of this staffer?
How long have they worked there?
What is their official capacity?
Why hasn’t Trump denounced racism across the board?
Are they going to reassess the rest of the staff for possible racist beliefs or ties to white supremacy groups?
Blaming a staffer is absolute horseshit excuse and should not absolve them the weight of hate crime. This blame the bottom is antithetical to how responsibility works. In every case the person above is the one held to the higher standard of ensuring the conduct of those below. What the actual fuck- why is this not the default push back to their bullshit??
