Another one bites the dust--it amazes me that these people will pop their heads up into the public eye, actually thinking that their racist views are normal and acceptable, only to find out the truth about themselves and how they are viewed by most Americans~

Jeremy Carl, a conservative political commentator, said he was backing out of his nomination to be assistant secretary of state for international organization affairs because of a lack of support from Republican senators.
Carl needed unanimous support from all GOP members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to advance to a full Senate confirmation vote. Republicans on the panel hold a 12-10 majority, so any GOP vote against him would stall his nomination at 11-11 since tie votes do not advance to the Senate floor.
"Unfortunately, at this time this unanimous support was not forthcoming," Carl wrote on X.
"I accept that political reality, and do not wish to have the President, Secretary Rubio, or the rest of his team waste valuable time and energy attempting to change that decision," he added.
Members of the Foreign Relations Committee grilled Carl last month during his confirmation hearing, with some focusing on his past comments on race and religion.
Sen. John Curtis, R-Utah, said in a statement after the hearing that he did not believe Carl was the "right person to represent our nation’s best interests in international forums," adding that Carl's "anti-Israel views and insensitive remarks about the Jewish people" were "unbecoming."
The post Carl was nominated for involves implementing U.S. policy at the United Nations and other multilateral organizations.
