A senior Trump appointee at the Department of Veterans Affairs spread “birther” conspiracy theories about former President Obama and made comments that appeared discriminatory against Muslims on social media, CNN reported on Tuesday.

The network reported that Thayer Verschoor, the executive director of intergovernmental affairs for the VA, made or shared most of the controversial comments on his Facebook page while working for the Trump campaign in Arizona.

Verschoor and the VA did not return CNN’s requests for comment, and Verschoor made his Facebook private after CNN asked about the posts, according to the report.

CNN found that Verschoor shared a Facebook post titled "Why Vote For Donald Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?' Romney: 'Unthinkable and unacceptable' to not commit to peaceful transition of power Two Louisville police officers shot amid Breonna Taylor grand jury protests MORE" that referenced the Obama “birther” conspiracy theory and negative theories about vaccines.

"He thinks Obama's birth certificate is a fraud [check out his SS#, no draft card/ old passport/ E-verification status, school records [remember his dad isn't American therefore he isn't qualified for the office he's in]," the post read, referring to Trump, who has questioned the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate.

The post also appeared to refer to a Muslim "problem" in the country.

"He realizes we have a Muslin problem in this nation," it said.

The official also shared posts calling for a ban on Muslim people entering the U.S., a policy then-candidate Trump also promoted.

“Donald Trump is right to temporarily ban Muslims till we know what the check is going on,” he wrote in one post in January 2016.

Verschoor is the former Arizona state Senate majority leader. He previously worked as a special assistant the Department of Agriculture before moving to the VA last year.
