President Donald Trump’s nominee for United States Attorney for the District of Columbia has made a string of racist and incendiary comments, his online history shows.
Recent tweets show Ed Martin, the current interim U.S. Attorney for D.C. who helped organize the “Stop the Steal” movement after Trump’s 2020 election defeat, has accused former Vice President Kamala Harris of “self-identifying” as Black, compared DEI policies to Jim Crow laws, and baselessly claimed Planned Parenthood targets Black women. The Guardian first reported the comments.
