Darren Beattie, Once Fired for Attending a Conference With White Nationalists, Is Making Cuts at the State Department

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has nominated someone else to do the job full-time, but for now, Beattie — who has frequently endorsed mass sterilization on social media — is in a senior position.

Darren Beattie, the State Department’s acting undersecretary for public diplomacy hasn’t been doing much of his work in public.

But Beattie — who once said “competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work” and has frequently praised the Chinese government’s repressive tactics — is serving in a senior position and leading the department’s “free speech” priorities since his appointment earlier this year.

Beattie has also repeatedly endorsed mass sterilization for some Americans, people he views as “low-IQ trash.”
