Looks like he’ll fit in perfectly with the current White House staff — Ride 'em, cowboy! (UPDATED)

White House promotes Biden official who compared police to slave patrols, wants to abolish ICE

Tyler Cherry is now serving as the associate communications director at the White House

In past tweets, Cherry has called for abolishing ICE and likened modern policing to slave patrols

Tyler Cherry was promoted last week as an associate communications director at the White House, after more than three years at the Department of Interior working for Secretary Deb Haaland [as the Department’s principal deputy communications director and senior spokesperson]. The promotion brought renewed attention to some of Cherry’s past incendiary posts. 

"After more than three years at Interior working for Secretary Deb Haaland, Cherry started last week as an associate communications director at the White House," Politico reported this week.

Tyler Cherry sparked controversy last year after social media posts surfaced in which he blasted law enforcement and promoted "Russiagate."

"Praying for #Baltimore, but praying even harder for an end to a capitalistic police state motivated by explicit and implicit racial biases," Cherry posted in 2015 amid riots that were sparked following the death of Freddie Gray, a Black man, in police custody in Baltimore.

"Apt (sic.) time to recall that the modern day police system is a direct evolution of slave patrols and lynch mobs," he stated in a separate post months later.

In 2018, Cherry called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Homeland Security Department agency tasked with preventing cross-border crime and illegal immigration, to be abolished. 

Cherry was also posting support for "Palestine" on social media in 2014 during the Gaza War in which Palestinian forces, led by the radical Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas, launched hundreds of rockets into Israel, sparking a forceful Israeli response that involved airstrikes and a ground invasion.

I’m more upset that this communist, race-baiting, open border advocate has been collecting a salary at the Department of the Interior for the past three years; it’s a good illustration of who Biden’s handlers brought in to run the government during their (single, I hope) term.

Mr. Cherry’s friend, senate staffer Aidan Maese-Czepopski is no longer employed by his boss, MD Senator Ben Cardin (D), but I’m sure he remembers him with fondness, as do we all. Here’s Aidan in action in a Senate hearing room last December:

UPDATE: The Free Beacon named Czepopski a “Man of the year” last December, and their announcement of that award is pretty damn funny. Writing credit was given to its entire staff, and, judging from the avalanche of bad puns, I can imagine the fun they had collaborating on its composition; I suspect beer was involved.

When we envision the United States Senate in all its majesty—the Great Triumvirate of Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and John C. Calhoun—we picture distinguished gentlemen waxing eloquently from the floor of the main chamber, what the late senator Robert Byrd referred to as "hallowed ground." But it's in the committee rooms where the sausage gets made—and it's often not pretty. For it is here that senators pound out legislation, launch intrusive probes, and try to sneak in backdoor amendments all while climbing that greasy pole.

And woe to the Senate staffers who behind the scenes work tirelessly round the clock. One, in particular, was getting slammed at work. His name is Aidan Maese-Czeropski, who worked on Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin's (D.) staff. On one occasion, Maese-Czeropski and an unidentified male companion entered the Judiciary Room (possibly through a rear entrance) and engaged in what can only be described as a late-night cramming session. We know this because they took a video of themselves, which then got posted online. Needless to say, it was a real eye-opener.

Now there is a twist to this story: Maese-Czeropski also turns out to be the staffer who confronted Ohio Republican Max Miller to say, "Free Palestine," according to the Jewish congressman. But that, in itself, was not the firing offense. What eventually got Maese-Czeropski canned, we are to presume, was his indiscretion in using a Senate hearing room to ram through his own legislation—rather than, say, some storage space deep in the murky bowels of the Hart Office Building.

We could go on, but you get the thrust of it. Not to mention the irony: Had Maese-Czeropski engaged in such activity in Gaza, Hamas would have torn him apart. (No, not in that way.)

So for his cheeky behavior that will likely leave an indelible stain on the U.S. Senate and make that most magisterial of deliberative bodies the butt of jokes for years to come, we crown Aidan Maese-Czeropski as Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year.
