(CNN) A Trump appointee serving on West Point's advisory board has repeatedly spread a conspiracy that the Biden administration is bringing in non-White immigrants as part of a "grand plan" to have them outnumber White Americans of European ancestry in the United States.
In another interview, he also attacked women serving in the military in combat roles.
The comments were made in April and May by retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor, who was appointed to West Point's Board of Visitors in the waning months of the Trump administration, and uncovered in a CNN KFile review of his recent comments. Macgregor also served as a senior official in Trump's Department of Defense, where he was tasked with the US withdrawal from Afghanistan after being appointed in November 2020.
Macgregor was previously nominated to be the Trump administration's ambassador to Germany, but his nomination failed to receive a hearing following a CNN KFile report on controversial comments on minorities, Islam, and Germany's remembrance of the Holocaust. He graduated from West Point and served in the US Army for nearly 30 years as a decorated combat veteran before retiring as a colonel in 2004. He is a frequent radio and television commentator on national security affairs, most recently for Fox News and RT, and has published five books.

Just like Mike Flynn.
RT = Russia Today. That has to register with the State Dept. as a propaganda arm of a foreign government.

This is replacement theory writ large. The fact he's serving in any capacity at West Point is outrageous. Replacement theory is a veiled attempt to hide the Neo-Nazi, white supremacist leanings of these people.
Anti-democratic and unAmerican. Fire his ass!
