A White House official, Tyler Cherry, has come under fire for controversial social media posts that have resurfaced, sparking debate over his suitability for his new role as associate communications director at the White House. Cherry, who previously worked at the Department of Interior under Secretary Deb Haaland, has faced criticism for posts attacking police, supporting the anti-Israel movement, and promoting 'Russiagate.'
One of Cherry's tweets from 2015, during the riots following the death of Freddie Gray, criticized what he called a 'capitalistic police state motivated by racial biases.' He also made statements linking modern policing to historical slave patrols and lynch mobs.
