Is Darla Shine, the wife of new White House deputy Bill Shine, a racist? That’s the question raised by Mediaite’s discovery of a trove of tweets attributed to Darla Shine that were deleted when her husband joined the Trump Administration.

Among some of the comments Mediaite screen-captured from the @darlashine account were criticisms of Black Lives Matter, an attempt to explain white supremacist Dylann Roof’s motivation for a mass shooting, a retweet of a meme insulting Africa and complaints about who is allowed to use the N-word and who isn’t.

Darla Shine, Bill Shine, and the White House did not immediately respond to requests from TheWrap for comment. Shine, former co-president of Fox News, was named Thursday as White House deputy chief of staff for communications.

Mediaite also noted anti-vaccination tweets and shaming of “whores” such as Monica Lewinski and Stormy Daniels.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the tweets, as reported by Mediaite.

Black Lives Matter

The account frequently commented on crimes committed by African-Americans and called out Black Lives Matter activists, President Obama and others for failing to stop them, as if they were responsible for the actions of every African-American.

“Where are the black celebrities, sports stars, musicians, why [aren’t] they speaking out tonight against blacks targeting & murdering cops?” @darlashine posted in 2016 after five police officers were killed in Dallas.

“You really are a terrible President @BarackObama @POTUS allowing our police officers to be gunned down like this,” said a tweet following the same shooting.

“Comical to see these over paid black sports stars give Black Lives Matter speech at ESPYs,” tweeted the account in 2016.

“When will Al Sharpton demand [that] young black boys do the right thing?” said another tweet.

“Imagine the protests if 3 white teens murdered a black woman #AmandaBlackburn Only Black Lives Matter I guess,” said a tweet about the fatal 2015 shooting of Amanda Blackburn in Indianapolis.

Defending Racists

Though the account held prominent African-Americans responsible for the actions of all African-Americans, it offered excuses for racist comments and behavior by whites.

After Trump was widely criticized for referring to African nations as “shithole countries,” @darlashine tweeted a meme with two images, one a golden civilization that read “Rome 2000 years ago” and another of huts in a jungle that read “Africa today.”

“At FSU u can punch a girl in the face & only get kicked off football team but sing a song with the N word in it & you’re expelled at Oklahoma,” said a 2015 tweet, after members of a fraternity were expelled for chanting “There will never be a N—- in SAE.” It compared them to ex-Florida State quarterback De’Andre Johnson, a black athlete who was dismissed from the team after being caught on video punching a woman in a bar.

“Yes Lets blame the Confederate Flag instead of Big Pharma and the psychiatric violence inducing Suboxone Dylan [sic] Roof was taking,” said another tweet. Roof killed nine African-Americans at a church in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015.

The N-Word

Mediaite pointed out a dozen times when the account said that the N-word should be removed from music, suggesting African-Americans should not be allowed to use it if white people cannot.

“Just singing to one of my jams ‘Golddigger’ by Kanye West when I realized If I sing along to the verse ‘Broke N—-‘ I might be a racist,” @darlashine tweeted in July 2015. (The tweet spelled out the N-word.)

“Al Sharpton demanding kid Rock denounce Rebel Flag yet Sharpton not demanding Rappers remove N word from music.”

“I have never said the N word out loud and my white children have never either. Blacks stop using the N word!”

“Funny how critics calling to ban Gone With the Wind, Jefferson Memorial, but no talk of banning the N word or Rap songs with N word in it.”

Muslims

The account called out “Islamic Insanity” in one tweet and questioned ABC’s firing of Roseanne Barr after her racist tweet directed at Valerie Jarrett.

“Muslims with bombs but @potus @HillaryClinton @HarryReid trying to blame their Radical TERROR on the @GOP @NRA not Islamic Insanity,” @darlashine tweeted in 2015.

“Wondering what it was that set off the #ABC execs the #Ape comment or really the #MuslimBrotherhood comment,” said a tweet in May.

There’s More

Other tweets objected to the concept of cultural appropriation and the existence of affirmative action, and linked black children with an anti-vaccination conspiracy theory.

“If white chicks can’t perm their hair – black chicks can’t go blonde,” @darlashine tweeted in August 2015 in response to an article on “Cultural Colonization.”

“The new stand in President at #mizzou is black. Will every white College President have to be replaced,” said a 2015 tweet.

“1 out of 10 black boys has autism,” said a February 2016 tweet.

Shine is the author of a book called “Happy Housewives” aimed at stay-at-home moms. She also hosted an accompanying radio show.
