Trump appointee Carl Higbie resigns after racist, sexist remarks reported

Trump administration appointee and former campaign surrogate Carl Higbie resigned Thursday as chief of external affairs for the Corporation for National and Community Service, a federal agency, after reports he had a history of making racist, sexist, xenophobic, and homophobic comments.
"Go back to your Muslim shithole and go crap in your hands and bang little boys on Thursday nights," Higbie said during a June 2013 episode of his Internet talk show, "The Sound of Freedom," unearthed by CNN.
"I just don't like Muslim people. People always rip me a new one for that. Carl, you're racist, you can't, you're sexist. I'm like, Jesus Christ. I just don't like Muslim people because their ideology sucks," he added.
In a February 2013 episode, he argued Americans should be allowed to shoot illegal immigrants caught crossing the U.S. border.

Trump can't even think up his own profane slurs.

to drag him wherever he goes. Let him explain why the man is chained to him, repeatedly.

Maybe it's time that Trump explains what HE means by that term....because I think it doesn't mean to him, what it means to the rest of us.

this is americorp. city year is a part of americorp.
my son did city year here in chicago, and it was freaking amazing, and set him on a steady path.
the majority of the kids in the program were minorities. how they even would appoint someone like this for THIS spot is about as low as you can go.
at this point, the bar is at the bottom of a deep, deep hole.
