Homeland Security Hires Labor Dept. Aide Whose Posts Raised Alarms
“… Peyton Rollins, 21, was hired this month to help run Homeland Security’s social media accounts, which have become public bullhorns for President Trump’s mass-deportation efforts and
come under scrutiny of their own for appealing to right-wing extremists.
… Mr. Rollins has spent most of the past year giving the Labor Department’s social media pages a makeover in Mr. Trump’s image. Current and former employees said career staff members had been pushed aside after Mr. Rollins’ arrival and rarely, if ever, crafted social media posts once he took control. Instead, Mr. Rollins personally posted social media content, which
he has included on his personal website.
Agency posts of late have used evocative imagery, some reminiscent of the 1920s and 1930s, with phrases like
“Restore American Greatness” and “the
globalist status quo is OVER.” An image of Mr. Trump, with bombers flying overhead, was accompanied by
the message, “One of one.”
Mr. Rollins has also
claimed credit for a massive banner with Mr. Trump’s visage that has hung from the Labor Department’s headquarters.…”
