Overview
- CNN documented thousands of deleted X posts by nominee Jeremy Carl, including praise for Jan. 6 participants and calls for the death penalty for AFT President Randi Weingarten.
- The reporting says Carl sought removal of archived versions from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine after deleting the posts from X.
- Posts from 2021 to 2023 included calling Democrats "evil" and "the real fascists" and asserting "We either win or die."
- Other messages compared Jan. 6 defendants to victims of Jim Crow, accused Nancy Pelosi of a "military coup," and echoed the Great Replacement theory while deriding Juneteenth.
- No withdrawal or Senate action on the nomination was reported, with Raw Story noting the disclosures surfaced as conservatives criticized Democratic rhetoric following the reported killing of Charlie Kirk.
