President Donald Trump’s pick for a key watchdog role, Paul Ingrassia, pulled his nomination this week after explosive revelations of private chat messages — remarks so off-the-rails that even loyal Republicans snapped.
According to Reuters and AP, Ingrassia was tapped to lead the Office of Special Counsel — the agency that protects whistleblowers and enforces political-employee rules — but withdrew once it became clear he didn’t have enough GOP votes to survive the confirmation process.
What set off the collapse? Leaked chat logs showed Ingrassia declaring he had “a Nazi streak” and trashing the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday as being “the 1960s George Floyd” and something to be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell.”
Senate Majority Leader John Thune and others made it clear: “Not this guy.” That’s notable — you rarely see Republicans call a Trump nominee dead on arrival.
