President-Elect Donald Trump has announced that Fox New host Monica Crowley will serve as director of strategic communications for the National Security Council. In a statement, Crowley said she was “honored” to be part of Trump’s team.

‘I am deeply honored, humbled and grateful to be asked by the President-elect to join the extraordinary national security team he is assembling…’

Crowley isn’t getting as much attention as other Trump appointee’s such as Jeff Sessions or Rex Tillerson, but, as Mother Jones has reported, she should get along well with the President-Elect. Like Trump, she has questioned where President Obama was born in the United States. She also claimed that the questions surrounding President Obama’s birth certificate were valid because his policies are “un-American.”

It isn’t just the President’s birth certificate that Crowley questions. On an episode of the Laura Ingraham Show actually questioned whether or not the President is black. A caller to the show called in and claimed that “not really African-American. He’s Arab. Forty-three percent Arab, 6 percent African negro, and half white. And that is the biggest fraud being perpetrated on us all.”

Instead of requesting proof for the man’s bizarre claims, Crowley actually seemed to endorse them. She did admit that she couldn’t verify them, but she never said the claims were untrue or that there was a lack of evidence.

‘According to this genealogy — and again, because I haven’t done the research, I can’t verify this — but according to this guy Kenneth Lamb, Barack Obama is not black African, he is Arab African. And yet, this guy is campaigning as black and painting anybody who dares to criticize him as a racist. I mean, that is — it is the biggest con I think I’ve ever seen.’

Trump supporters tend to get angry when you accuse them of supporting a racist, but people like Crowley make it difficult to defend the President-Elect. Claiming that the President was born in Kenya is racist enough on its own, but having the nerve to somehow claim that isn’t actually black and is merely using it as a way to silence his opponents? That might be the most racist thing we’ve heard come out of the Trump campaign. If Trump wants to prove he’s not racist then a good first step would be to issue a public apology for his role in supporting the birther movement and to remove Crowley from his administration.
