Democrats’ New Senior Adviser Called Police ‘White Supremacists’ After Capitol Incursion: Report

A major new hire by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee called police officers “white supremacists” last month and also supported rioters as they ravaged American cities last summer.

Dyjuan Tatro joined the DCCC in early February as its senior adviser of strategic outreach for the diversity and inclusion department.

“This past election cycle has emphasized how electoral politics effects the daily lives of each and every American as well as the centrality of the African-American vote to winning elections. I am honored to be joining the DCCC to work on a number of issues at the nexus politics, diversity, and equity & inclusion,” he said in a news release.

But on Jan. 8, two days after the Capitol incursion, Tatro issued a scathing attack on the police, Fox News reported.

“The answer to white supremacists storming the Capitol is not to give more money to a different group of white supremacists who’s  job it is to uphold white supremacy,” Tatro wrote in a since-deleted Twitter thread about the Capitol Police budget, saying the issue was not budget, but race.

In August, Tatro summed up looting as “protests against systemic racism,” according to Fox.

“I don’t understand why you can’t CONDEMN VIOLENT POLICE & acknowledge LOOTING as a VITAL form of social PROTEST. And, how about YOU not use sterilized language when referring to state sanctioned murder while maligning protests against the systemic racism that enables it,” he tweeted in response to a user who had called for looting to be condemned.
