A series of conspiracy posts, along with reported anti-Muslim and anti-LGBT comments, have cost a Tucson political activist her job in the Trump administration. Christine Bauserman resigned from the Interior Department on Wednesday, with officials saying her posts were “inappropriate and unacceptable.”
Bauserman, who worked on Donald Trump’s campaign in Arizona, went to Washington, D.C., as part of a “beachhead team” in the early days of the new administration.
She left her position as a special assistant to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke after CNN raised questions about some of her posts on Facebook and Twitter.
“The positions expressed by Ms. Bauserman are inappropriate and unacceptable, and they are not consistent with those of the Secretary or the Trump Administration. The Department has accepted Ms. Bauserman’s letter of resignation,” Heather Swift, a spokeswoman for Department of the Interior, told CNN in a statement.
Bauserman did not respond to a request for comment from TucsonSentinel.com, nor did she respond to CNN’s queries, the network said.
