The Trump campaign's top legal advisor, attorney, and spokesperson Jenna Ellis previously repeatedly called Trump an "idiot," and said his supporters didn't care about "facts," "logic" or that Trump was an "unethical, corrupt, lying, criminal, dirtbag."
"Why should we rest our highest office in America, to a man who fundamentally goes back and forth and really cannot be trusted to be consistent or accurate in anything," Ellis said in one April 2016 radio appearance.
NEW on CNN: Trump's pick for deputy UN ambassador repeatedly questioned loyalty of American Muslims in old blog posts and shared false conspiracies Obama was a Kenyan Muslim who could be bent on intentionally harming America.
Bruce wrote of Obama, “Somewhere in Kenya a village is missing its idiot," suggested he wanted America harmed, suggested he was Muslim, and said he was behind the "Ground Zero Mosque" to cause "as much destruction to the American psyche as possible." cnn.com/2025/11/18/pol…
NEW: Jeremy Carl, top Trump State Dept. nominee, deleted 1000s of social media posts, many with inflammatory commentary, including incendiary posts about race, claims that “peaceful coexistence” with Democrats is impossible, even a call for Randi Weingarten to be executed.
One deleted tweet said Capitol rioters on trial had it worse Black people in Jim Crow Mississippi. cnn.com/2025/09/25/pol…
Carl asked the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to remove his tweets - but seemingly forgot to request they remove his previous username under the same account.

NEW on CNN: Darren Beattie, the acting Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy —one of Trump’s most senior State Department appointees — deleted tweets spreading unfounded rumors that Rubio attended gay foam parties and calling him “low IQ.” cnn.com/2025/03/10/pol…
Beattie’s deleted tweet came after Rubio voted to certify the 2020 election. It also invoked a far-right conspiracy theory about a curfew violation arrest from Rubio’s teenage years that was later twisted into baseless speculation that Rubio is gay. cnn.com/2025/03/10/pol…
A follow-up deleted tweet about Rubio from Beattie said, “What happens in the Cabana stays in the Cabana #Rubio.” cnn.com/2025/03/10/pol…

On the porn website Nude Africa, Robinson also graphically described his own sexual arousal as an adult from the memory of secretly “peeping” on women in public gym showers as a teen, recounting the story as a memory he said he still fantasized about. cnn.com/2024/09/19/pol…
In another thread, commenters considered whether to believe the story of a woman who said she was raped by her taxi driver while intoxicated. In response, Robinson wrote, “and the moral of this story….. Don’t f**k a white b*tch!” cnn.com/2024/09/19/pol…
