I would like to know what the screening process is for people who want a job in the Trump administration.Carl Higbie resigned as chief of external affairs for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), a spokeswoman for the department told CNN.
Higbie declined a request for comment from The Hill.
CNCS was created in 1993 and oversees initiatives such as AmeriCorps and the Social Innovation Fund.
Higbie’s resignation follows a CNN review of his past comments on radio appearances in which he makes disparaging remarks about multiple minority groups.
CNN found audio of a June 2013 radio appearance, when Higbie said, “I just don’t like Muslim people.”
“Well people are like, ‘well, you can’t hate somebody just for being Muslim.’ It’s like, yeah, I can,” Higbie said.
In a December 2013 appearance, Higbie suggested black women think “breeding is a form of government employment,” CNN uncovered.
Higbie, a former Navy SEAL, also made critical remarks of soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder, saying the illness is “a trait of a weak mind."

Actually, I'm surprised when they step down over their obvious racism.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
