Overview

• NOTUS connected public podcast episodes, a 2021 American Greatness post, and an X account to Eric Lendrum, who joined DHS as a speechwriter in March 2025.
• The materials include praise for the January 6 attack and claims that conservatives face treatment akin to Jews before Nazi Germany as well as slavery and the Holocaust.
• Episodes and posts attributed to Lendrum promote the “great replacement” narrative, use dehumanizing language about immigrants, and call for eradicating transgender ideology.
• Reporters seeking comment received no substantive reply from Lendrum, and DHS responded by pointing to the text of the First Amendment.
• There has been no public indication of disciplinary action or a detailed departmental review as of the latest reports.
