Former Trump Aide Publishes Racist, Sexist Tirade After Meeting Jan. 6 Committee
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A former White House aide to Donald Trump went on a racist and sexist
rant this week, just after he met with the lawmakers investigating the
January 6 Capitol insurrection. Garrett Ziegler posted the 27-minute
rant as an audio file to his Telegram page, where he verbally attacked
witnesses who've provided damning testimony against the former president
- and railed against leaders of the House select committee on the
January 6 attack.

Garrett Ziegler: "They're Bolsheviks, so they probably do hate the
American founders and most white people in general. This is a
Bolshevistic, anti-white campaign. If you can't see that, your eyes are
freaking closed. And so, they see me as a young Christian who they can
try to basically scare, right?"

Ziegler went on to use misogynistic epithets to attack two former women
colleagues who testified against Trump: Cassidy Hutchinson and Alyssa
Farah.
