Pro tip: When you vet a political appointee, make sure his clients and associates don’t read like a Who’s Who of white nationalists.
Adam Candeub, an attorney recently hired by the Trump administration to oversee telecom policy at the Commerce Department, has represented one white nationalist and written op-eds with another, according to Mother Jones.
An internal email obtained by Mother Jones announced Candeub’s hiring but made no mention of his white nationalist ties:
“While the email touts Candeub’s credentials…it leaves off his legal work representing white nationalist Jared Taylor, who founded the New Century Foundation. The organization ‘purports to show the inferiority of blacks to whites,’ according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.”
If, as the adage puts it, “a man is known by the company he keeps,” Adam Candeub is unfit to serve in the federal government.
