Bulwark Takes - Trump Promotes Guy Who Was Too Racist for GOP Senators

Episode Date: November 14, 2025

Tim Miller gives his take on Donald Trump promoting Paul Ingrassia, the racist Twitter troll whose private texts about having a "Nazi streak" were so vile that even MAGA group chats were telling him to dial it back. The Senate refused to confirm him for a previous job and now he's going to be deputy general counsel at the General Services Administration. Watch Tim's video on Ingrassia's texts: https://youtu.be/MInUIlH7sfU

Hey, y'all, it's Tim Mell from the Bullock. I want to give you a quick update on a story that we've been following around here about this gentleman, Paul Engracia. Gentleman? I guess. Okay. This douche canoe, Paul Engrasia, who I first encountered as a Twitter troll as a particularly obnoxious brand of Twitter troll, pro-Trump Twitter troll, who publicly pushed all kinds of, you know, really, uh, sick men's power type stuff. Um, I mean, one of the things that he had pushed was just this ode to Andrew Tate sex trafficker who got popular in right wing circles for a while. He was defending him after he was charged, um, with, uh, those crimes, uh, against, uh, against women. Um, if in this quote here, he talks about that he has become an enemy in the eyes of the matrix, the deep stated the satanic elite that attempt to systematically program and oppress all men from womb to tomb.

So anyway, that's the kind of material that I was saying from him. And also just like Trump fan girl, link, you know, real, real manly butch alpha omega behavior, uh, just being a total cent for Donald Trump. But anyway, in Gracia, um, because all of the weirdest Trump supporters in the world got jobs in Trump 2.0, um, got a job working at DHS. for Christy Noam's new face, and then he was appointed to a job, a bigger job that was going to require Senate confirmation. And that's when we last encountered him in the show. I've remembered. We talked about him. The Senate was for once bucking Trump. They had concerns about this

nomination. And around the time that he was about to have his hearings, Politico dropped this bombshell story about the private text that he was sending. Now, the private. The private were even worse than his terrible public tweets. Among them included him saying that he had a Nazi streak. He wanted to eviscerate every holiday celebrating Black Americans. He's going after MLK Day. He said that you should never trust a Chinaman or an Indian. Kind of interesting, since the vice president's married to an Indian American, his children are Indian, that he would be cool with this guy that they nominated for a big role talking about how you can't trust any Indians.

If that is wrong about yet, he was the guy that said the no mullin young holidays. I'm still saying that wrong, the no muley holidays. We've heard from all the Italians. This is basically the Italian N-word. He threw out Kwanza as well, as I mentioned MLK Day, Black History Month. He's against

Juneteenth, etc. Every single one of them needs to be emissrated. So that is our man, Paul and Gracia. Oh, I guess I forgot the most important one. And all these texts, because, I mean, you shouldn't be giving jobs to dudes that are just sending disgustingly racist text texts that are so racist that even people on the chain are saying like Jesus Christ, Paul, like magas. He's like an intra-maga chain and the other magas are like, bro, this is even too far for us. But on that chain, this was one that really stood out to me.

We need competent white men in positions of leadership. The founding fathers were wrong that all men are created equal. We need to reject that part of our heritage. So this guy with the worst physiognomy that I've ever seen in my life is deciding that he wants to determine who is the master race, I guess. You know, morons come around every day. So it's not the kind of person you'd want to spend a lot of time on. So I'm going to keep this video kind of tight. But after that news came out, the Senate, Republicans basically said, you don't need to show up.

for your confirmation hearing, and he was not confirmed to the position. And so, you know, okay, that is the system working as it should. I mean, it's the tiniest win, you know, that a guy who explicitly says that he doesn't think people are created equal and that we should like, it's very explicit that he wants discrimination, should not have a Senate conferable position in a government and a pluralistic society in a free country like America. So it felt like, okay, here you go. This is a story that is worth following because it speaks.

to just how nasty and racist these magas are in their private texts. But it also speaks to the fact that maybe there's this like tiniest little baby step towards normalcy. Where a guy like this is just so disgusting in every imaginable way inside and outside. It's not going to get rewarded. is not going to be in a position of public responsibility in our country. Maybe you can go and improve and improve himself and find a place in private life, whatever. Not trying to send them to a gulag or anything, but, you know, in this country, you'd think that somebody like Paul Ingracia, who's an exvalid racist and who wants to discriminate

against people can't represent our government in a position that is granted by the public, right? It's a we the people government here in this country. Well, I hate to stamp out any little tiny morsel of good news, but tonight we learned that Paul and Grasse is getting a promotion. That's right. And Grascia said Donald Trump, the president of these United States, called him into his office on Wednesday evening to offer him a job working as the deputy council in the general services administration.

We'll get to what that job actually is in a second, but I just want to sit on this crazy thing, that a person that works for the government and a position of responsibility was revealed to be a vile, disgusting racist, and was revealed to be a person that believes that the citizens that he's serving should be discriminated against based on skin color, based on sexuality, based on sex, and and he gets called into the president's office and he gets called in and the president is not there to say to him hey that's not how we do things in America I'm going to have to ask you to leave the president he's not called to the president's office for the president to say hey

let's talk about these these texts are inappropriate right you don't agree with that you know we're going to have to put you on a suspension or probation no he gets called in the president's office the President of the United States looks at him and looks at him and says, you, you, this little Italian guy that is an invalid white nationalist, that wants to take out the calipers and judge people's merit based on their genes, I am going to give you a race. I want to reward you these other cucks, these wimps over in the Senate that wouldn't confirm you.

That's not the president. The buck stops with me and I'm going to reward a notious racist that is a simp for sex traffickers. By the way, this guy has no skill. He also says no resume. he graduated from Cornell law like two minutes ago and he's like a child he's a man child so he's not as if oh he has these terrible views but he's also really deep expert in AI or something

you know what like no he offers nothing he's a moron and a buffoon and and the president gives him this promotion so anyway the GSA he's going to be the deputy council the GSA basically they manage our federal buildings in real estate they do IT services. Basically, it's like the main HR department of the government, like kind of coordinating acquisitions, procurement, what's happening across all the agencies. What expertise this person would have in this? I have no idea. The idea that somebody who is explicitly pro-discrimination should be like reviewing contracts and like reviewing choices that are made about government buildings is absolutely insane.

But that's what's going to be happening. That's where we're at. Paul and Grasio gets a promotion. So that's what also, just one last thing. That's how the president's spending his time right now. You know, a lot of people are suffering out there right now. A lot of, you know, you're hearing increasing concerns about a variety of things. We've all talked about how much affordability matters right now,

the cost of people's health care costs are going up because they didn't cut a deal with the Democrats on the shutdown you know across the board you have Americans who feel like things aren't going the way that they want them to go and then the president has various levers that he could use to fix that and and how he's spending his time is putting up bullion art and like cheesecake factory drawings on the White House and you new big flagpoles, and he's meeting with little racist to let them know that they get a promotion. That's what he's spending his time on. So, hopefully you feel good that the ship of state is aimed the right direction, knowing that. We always want to let you know what's happening.

You know, if we mention something, we mention a story, we want to make sure we want to put a bow on it. You know, if there's not a happy ending, we want to make sure you know the reality of what is happening in our government. That's my service to you. We'll be seeing you all set.
