Professor Richardson summarizes the appointment of Thomas C. Fugate to head the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships at the United States Department of Homeland Security, as Wikipedia reports:
Hannah Allam of ProPublica reported on Wednesday that the White House has put a 22-year-old recent college graduate with no experience in national security in charge of overseeing the government’s main center for preventing terrorism. Thomas Fugate’s main credentials for his position in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which includes overseeing $18 million in grants to local authorities to combat violent extremism, appear to be his time spent as an intern at the right-wing Heritage Foundation and his loyalty to Trump.
The Professor misses one qualification:
That’s a TV-ready face if I’ve ever seen one, and that’s an important aspect of the Trump vetting process.
Which is as much an indictment of the Trump Administration as any.
