The best people

President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics [E.J. Antoni, a 37-year-old economist for the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation] operated a since-deleted Twitter account that featured sexually degrading attacks on Kamala Harris, derogatory remarks about gay people, conspiracy theories, and crude insults aimed at critics of President Donald Trump.

So, a perfect fit for the rest of Trump's administration.
His appointment comes after Trump fired the Biden-appointed BLS commissioner and accused the agency without evidence of corruption after a report showed job growth in May and June was weaker than previously estimated.

[...]

An outspoken critic of the nonpartisan BLS, which calculates US job growth and unemployment figures, Antoni is a stout Trump loyalist. NBC News reported and CNN confirmed that he was a “bystander” at the US Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.


UPDATE 10/01/2025:


 I expect you can find all those things in Trump's social media, too.
