This is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention...pic at link. [View all]

X post by Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy this morning:

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.

22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk.

Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he's a BIG Trump fan. So he go the job.





And here's a typical MAGA supporter's reply (in case you still think these people can be reasoned with):
To be honest sometimes we need younger folk in these positions—besides anything they are probably good at video games, which means they will be good at doing things IRL—I think this was a very good choice and support this decision fully to place this man in the role.
