President Joe Biden’s latest move to elevate Tyler Cherry, a controversial figure with a history of inflammatory social media posts, to the position of associate communication director at the White House has stirred up quite the commotion among conservative circles.
Cherry, who previously served under U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, has come under fire for his past comments attacking law enforcement, criticizing Republicans, and supporting anti-Israel sentiments. His vocal opposition to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has also raised eyebrows, especially considering the agency’s crucial role in combating illegal immigration.

Furthermore, Cherry’s public support for “Palestine” during the Gaza War of 2014, a conflict marked by terrorist attacks on Israel by radical groups like Hamas, has only added fuel to the fire. His contentious opinions and history of targeting Republicans have left many questioning Biden’s decision to give him such a prominent role within the administration.
With Cherry now at the helm of climate communications in the White House, replacing Maria Michalos, who is stepping down to pursue law school, the administration’s environmental and climate initiatives are expected to take center stage. As Biden gears up for the 2024 election and seeks to solidify his policies on climate change, Cherry’s appointment will undoubtedly be a point of contention and scrutiny for conservatives in the coming years.
