MAGA infesting the State Department
**Crossposted from General Discussion**Well, there's Gavin Wax, white nationalist punk who just leaked the racist Young Republican chat to settle some score. And there's his boss, Darren Beattie, who is a disgustingly racist conspiracy theorist (and who was fired from the first Trump Admin for being too racist). And Spencer Lindquist, whose articles have accused pretty much everyone of pedophilia, including Twix candy bars.
But much more secretive is the Ben Franklin Fellowship: a secretive club of Trumpers who want to MAGA-ize U.S. foreign policy.
Their "Fellows" are greybeards who hate DEI, immigration, and all the other Trump targets. But BFF keeps its mere "members" secret.
Well, sort of...
KTB has found some of their names and is calling them out.
