The largest federal employee union is joining State Department employees and members of Congress in calling for the firing of a Foreign Service officer for allegedly running a website with antisemitic content.

The American Federation of Government Employees Local 1534, which represents State Department employees, is calling for the removal of Fritz Berggren, a Foreign Service officer, for running a website that “frequently assails members of the Jewish faith, the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, and argues that the United States should be a ‘Christian nation-state.’”

The site features nearly 800 blog posts with titles that include, “Jewish Tactics to Control the Narrative,” “Jesus Hated the Jews,” and “It’s OK to Be White.” Each post is signed by Berggren, and the site features several photos of him.

An Oct. 4, 2020 blog post states “Jewish ideas poison people.” Berggren did not respond to a request for comment submitted to his website.

This story struck me as odd. I suppose it's possible...but is it probable?

There are news articles going back to at least last year about him. The oddest thing may be he apparently has worked for the gov since 2009, and yet they only discovered him an his beliefs last year? One would think they would have gone after him while Trump was POTUS.

Sounds like a case of freedom of speech to me.

““We do not have any evidence of a threat. But in 2022, the idea that someone like this could be armed and dangerous is pretty uncontestable,” Rubin said.”

Watching what has been happening to Kanye the past several weeks is pretty darn interesting.
