The U.S. Agency for Global Media has hired Frank Wuco, a controversial former talk radio host who once called President Barack Obama “a Kenyan” and said Nancy Pelosi was a Botox-using Nazi, according to three USAGM officials
.
On one show in 2011, he called then-House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi “Nancy Nazi Pelosi” and mocked her appearance. Earlier in his career, Wuco also worked as an adviser to parts of the military about how Islamic terrorists thought. As part of that, hea jihadist alter-ego named “Fuad Wasul,” an identity he used to dress up in Islamic garb. He also had a radio segment called “Ask the Jihadist.”
USAGM’s front office also has hired Toni DeLancey, who was previously the chief operating officer of social conservative group Concerned Women of America, as a senior adviser. This is Delancey’s second stint in the Trump administration. From September 2017 to April 2019, she was deputy director of congressional and public affairs at the Farm Credit Administration. Earlier in her career, she worked for the U.S. Postal Service for seven years, Fox News for a year, and is a graduate of West Point.
The front office then installed former State Department official Mora Namdar as acting vice president for legal affairs, risk and compliance. According to two of the people, she fulfilled the original request to compile material against Kligerman and worked in tandem with Newman to undermine and sideline him. Newman and Namdar didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Their ouster has also led to questions about why Kligerman, Turner and the other people removed on Wednesday, rather than some others who are staying at the agency, have been held accountable for supposed management failings in the past.
