White House-USAID liaison fired after series of anti-LGBTQ tweets; she asserted that she had been attacked for her 'Christian beliefs.'
Corrigan, in the tweetstorm, also mentioned having “watched with horror this week as USAID distributed taxpayer funded documents claiming ‘we cannot tell someone’s sex or gender by looking at them’ and that not calling oneself ‘cis-gendered’ is a microagression.”
Corrigan did not elaborate. But in a bizarre twist, she announced on Twitter that she planned to hold a news conference on Thursday afternoon “to discuss the rampant anti-Christian sentiment at USAID” alongside Jacob Wohl and Jack Burman, a duo of conservative activists with a long history of fabricating conspiracy theories and false sexual assault allegations about President Trump’s perceived political opponents.
Asked if Corrigan had been fired, Jhunjhunwala said: “USAID does not comment on the specific basis on which employees leave the Agency. All political appointees serve at the pleasure of the Administrator.”reads,"USAID’s vision is a world in which the human rights of LGBT persons are respected and able to live with dignity, free from discrimination, persecution, and violence.
The Human Rights Campaign, a prominent LGBTQ rights group, responded to Corrigan’s departure by calling it emblematic of broader problems in the Trump administration, adding that her “biased and harmful beliefs are not shared by the vast majority of Americans.”
