Trump nominee says MLK Jr. holiday belongs in "hell" and that he has "Nazi streak". Thoughts?

[Cubus]

Paul Ingrassia, President Donald Trump’s embattled nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, told a group of fellow Republicans in a text chain the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and said he has “a Nazi streak,”

Ingrassia, who has a Senate confirmation hearing scheduled Thursday, made the remarks in a chain with a half-dozen Republican operatives and influencers, according to the chat.

“MLK Jr. was the 1960s George Floyd and his ‘holiday’ should be ended and tossed into the seventh circle of hell where it belongs,” Ingrassia wrote in January 2024, according to the chat.

Using an Italian slur for Black people, Ingrassia wrote a month earlier in the group chat seen by POLITICO: “No moulignon holidays … From kwanza [sic] to mlk jr day to black history month to Juneteenth,” then added: “Every single one needs to be eviscerated.”

It's disgusting and unfortunately, not surprising. The White House Cabinet and almost all senior positions are filled by white people and it's not exactly minority friendly.

I mean, the Democrats DID say "No Kings"

Paul Ingrassia was dropped on his head several times as a child. The rest is obvious.
