Personnel Is Policy

Most Americans have no idea who the White House associate communications director is, nor should they be expected to know.

But, as I have mentioned before, there is an old adage in Washington: Personnel is policy. The people selected to work in the administration or in the White House have tremendous influence over policy formation and its implementation.

Here’s why this matters: Tyler Cherry just got a big promotion. The former communications director for the Interior Department now works as the associate communications director in the Biden White House.

Cherry is a radical left-wing activist. He has called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be abolished. He compared modern-day policing to “slave patrols and lynch mobs.”

He cheered on Hamas in its 2014 war against Israel and called for the U.S. to stop weapons shipments to Israel. He defended anti-Semite Linda Sarsour.

And he is fond of wearing dresses and carrying a purse.

So, there’s yet another radical open borders, anti-capitalist, anti-police, anti-Israel, LGTBQ activist inside the Biden White House helping to formulate policy.

Over the weekend, Cherry claimed that his past remarks when he was younger “do not reflect my current views,” and he vowed to promote Biden’s agenda. Well, maybe Cherry has changed his views, but those past views bear a striking resemblance to Biden’s agenda.

Cherry’s views 10 years ago are revealing, but who he is and what he is doing today are more relevant. This is not the average homosexual man or woman in America. The people Joe Biden has elevated are the fringe of the LGBTQ crowd.
