A Call to Reject a Dangerous Nominee

The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee is set to hear from Jeremy Carl, a Trump appointee for a senior State Department position that shapes U.S. policy at the United Nations and other global bodies.

The Role and Its Importance

The position, Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations, is critical for addressing human rights, climate change, and global health.

Concerns Over Carl’s Background

Carl’s past statements raise serious concerns:

• Promoted the "Great Replacement" conspiracy, claiming a hidden agenda to replace white Americans with immigrants and non-white citizens.
• Spoke of a "cultural genocide" against white people, ideas linked to real-world violence, such as the 2018 synagogue shooting.
• Used antisemitic and racist rhetoric in deleted tweets and a recent podcast, attacking Jewish people with harmful stereotypes.

Clash with U.S. Diplomacy Principles

Carl’s views conflict with the U.N.’s principles of human rights and equality, which the U.S. is expected to uphold.

Senate’s Decision

Senator John Curtis, a committee member, will weigh these issues. Many believe he should reject Carl’s confirmation, sending a clear message that hate has no place in U.S. diplomacy.

Conclusion

Carl’s extremist statements make him unfit for a role requiring integrity and respect for all peoples.
