2016 ELECTION/INTERIOR/NOMINATIONS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “A political appointee at the Department of Interior resigned Wednesday after CNN’s KFile flagged inflammatory comments she made on Facebook and Twitter.
Christine Bauserman, a former Republican activist in Arizona who also worked for President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, served as a special assistant to Secretary Ryan Zinke, providing him operational support that included coordinating policy briefings. Bauserman initially joined the administration as a member of the so-called ‘beachhead teams,’ which consisted of advisers tasked with shaping Trump’s new administration.
A KFile review found that Bauserman repeatedly shared conspiracy theories, made anti-Muslim comments and shared anti-LGBT sentiments on social media… Bauserman did not return a request for comment. She has now restricted access to her Facebook and Twitter accounts.”
