New White House Assistant Communications Director Already Apologizing for Past Controversial Tweets

Meet Tyler Cherry. He’s the new White House Assistant Communications Director.

Here he is:

Cherry has a checkered public past. He’s already apologizing for it. This is what he wrote on Twitter two hours ago: “Past social media posts from when I was younger do not reflect my current views. Period. I support this Administration’s agenda – and will continue my communications work focused on our climate and environmental policies.”

Cherry is the former Interior Communications Director. His new job is handling communications for the White House Climate Policy Office, working with the White House press office on climate and energy policy announcements.

According to reports, in 2015, he tweeted “the modern day police system is a direct evolution of slave patrols and lynch mobs.” And he prayed “even harder for an end to a capitalistic police state motivated by explicit and implicit racial biases.”  He also helped boost “Russiagate.” In 2018, he called for ICE to be abolished.

Here’s a full report.

This doesn’t seem like a good idea for the White House or Joe Biden right now.
