Paul Ingrassia
Paul Ingrassia has been nominated by President Donald J. Trump to lead the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC), a critical independent agency tasked with safeguarding whistleblowers, protecting federal employees from political coercion, and ensuring ethical accountability in government. This role demands integrity, impartiality, and a deep respect for civil rights. Ingrassia has none of these qualities.
Instead, his public record reveals a pattern of virulent antisemitism, misogyny, and contempt for core American values. His writings, social media posts, and public commentary promote white nationalist figures, belittle terror victims, advocate stripping women of voting rights, and fuel conspiracy theories that undermine our democracy. He is not just unqualified, he is dangerous.
Here are just a few examples of Paul Ingrassia’s concerning views:
- Here are just a few examples of Paul Ingrassia’s concerning views:
- On October 7, 2023, while Hamas was carrying out the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, Ingrassia minimized the atrocity, equating it to U.S. immigration policy.
- He labeled the October 7th invasion, which included slaughter, sexual assaults, and kidnappings of innocent civilians, a “psyop,” a term used by conspiracy theorists to deny the reality of human suffering and excuse antisemitic terror.
- Hours after Hamas’ invasion, Ingrassia tweeted there was too much “energy” in “condemning” Hamas.
- He publicly supports Holocaust denier and white supremacist Nick Fuentes, calling to “free” him and attending his rallies.
- He has praised misogynist Andrew Tate, called for revoking women’s right to vote, and smeared public officials like Nikki Haley with sexist slurs.
This is not a man who can be trusted to defend federal workers, investigate discrimination, or uphold any form of ethical oversight. He has shown extreme hostility to Jews, women, and the very idea of democratic governance.
StopAntisemitism needs YOUR help! EMAIL Senator Grassley’s office and demand that the nomination of Paul Ingrassia be halted. The integrity of our federal government, and the safety of those it employs, depends on it.
