I can't even…
I'll just say, again, that it is a sign of remarkable weakness at the top of the agency that they've allowed AID to be used as a dumping ground for these kinds of jokers. https://t.co/GfzWiVHnIg

The most batshit drama of this presidency is happening at USAID of all places, where a former appointee has now insinuanated that Jacob Wohl stole her phone and sent tweets under her name attacking the agency for having a pro LGBT biashttps://t.co/DsaD2l8bVd@willsommer

SCOOOP: Merritt Corrigan, the deputy White House liaison at @USAID, is leaving the agency after a short and tumultuous tenure marred by calls for her removal over controversial comments she had made on LGBT rights, three sources told me. https://t.co/HrOLn8awvL

USAID just announced that @MerrittCorrigan has left the agency. Two months ago, ProPublica first revealed that Corrigan, who has denounced liberal democracy and decried our "homo-empire," had received a top post there.https://t.co/Uz1ohATAkc

More hits from Merritt Corrigan in Oct 2019: "We have to speak out now about the transsexual agenda before it becomes normalized."
She also wrote an op-ed in October decrying feminism and calling on women to stay in the home and have babies. https://t.co/HXsw4oIfNW
