The new guy for Trump’s work statistics is a “spectator” of January 6 accused of confused messages

President Trump recently dismissed Erika Mcentarfer, the head of the Labor Statistics Office, accusing him of having “rigged” employment reports. In his place, Trump selected EJ Antoni, a former economist of the heritage foundation who was photographed in the debacle of January 6 (but who claims that he was only a “passer -by” of chaos) and who, according to CNN and Wired reports, formerly directed a Twitter account that published all kinds of Gnarly stuff.

Earlier this month, Wired reported that a Twitter account deleted since the same name as Antoni (he had gone through “Dr. Erwin J. Antoni III”) had published a wave of tweets that showed an “apparent obsession to promote the theories of the conspiracy of the elections while talking about violent threats to those who took place in the sense of the elections.” Wired also noted that the account had published a “violent religious rhetoric” and, before the riot of the Capitol, “common content Du Donald, a virulently pro-Trump babbllard that was used to organize the events of January 6, 2021. “The story is characterized as having been” imbued with a deeply hard (and) Catholic world vision has sometimes shown misogyny and knowledge of Nazi military techniques “.

Surveillance images have definitively confirmed that Antoni was at the riots on January 6. The White House previously defended the presence of Antoni, saying that he was “a passerby to the events of January 6, observing and then leaving the Capitol region”. The White House also noted: “EJ was in town for meetings, and it is false and defamatory to suggest that EJ is committed to everything that is inappropriate or illegal.” There is no evidence that Antoni has entered the Capitol, and the available images show it to cross the crowd and, finally, leaving the field, reports NBC.

CNN now has a new report on Antoni’s alleged Twitter account that he published degrading sexual content about Kamala Harris, which apparently implies that his political career was the result of blowjobs:

In 2019, the story since deleted known as “Erwinjohantoni” changed its username to “Phdofbombsway”. The account has published at least five sexually suggestive tweets implying that senator Kamala Harris, then had his career advanced through sexual favors.

Shortly after Harris put an end to his presidential campaign in 2020, Antoni wrote: “You cannot run a knee race”, in response to a tweet of a tank campaign poster which represented a sexually explicit image of Harris.

Antoni also referred to Christine Basey Ford, the woman who accused the judge of the Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, like “Miss Piggy”. In February 2020, he retwe -fired an article entitled “Advice for women: how to get a great guy”, who asked women to “be in good shape”, “cultivate your hair”, “Be sweet”, “Learn to cook” and “Do not be boring”. The post concluded: “The feminists and the angry simps will try to sabotage you in the comments. Do not listen to them. Listen to me. “

So sweet advice from “Erwinjohn” – Jeez every woman would have the chance to have a chic guy like that. The same account would have used the “Dr Curtis Lemay” handle, with an apparent reference to the notoriously psychotic general of the American Air Force which supervised the bombing of Japan during the Second World War.

When it was contacted to comment, the White House did not address the allegations concerning the former publications of the social media, simply providing the following declaration of the spokesperson Taylor Rogers:

“BLS failed companies, decision -makers and American families by publishing job reports with extremely inaccurate data. Solutions that prioritize the increase in response rates to survey and modernize data collection methods to improve the accuracy of BLS. »»

Gizmodo also contacted the Labor Department and the Heritage Foundation to comment.

It is not surprising that Trump wants someone with a different perspective to account for the economy at the moment. Many analysts see dismantling budgetary prospects with the US job market in free fall. The office of the Bureau of Labor Statistics published on Friday has shown that hiring in the United States had blocked, with only 22,000 jobs added in August. This is significantly lower than the analysts had projected, which was some 80,000 jobs, notes the Associated Press. Some commentators believe that Trump’s policies – in particular, its prices – which have shaken businesses and have kept their conservative hiring practices.
