Are you f***ing kidding me???
"Amid the threats of retribution from Iran following the U.S. military strike on three Iranian nuclear sites, critics have ramped up their scrutiny of the 22-year-old who was assigned to a major terrorism-prevention post by President Donald Trump.
In a Sunday morning post to X, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) called out Trump for appointing 22-year-old Thomas Fugate to a role at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in which he oversees the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3) — a division of the agency which is tasked with terrorism prevention.
"As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention," Murphy wrote — referring to Fugate. "22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he's a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job."
A June 4 investigation from Pro Publica into Fugate's background turned up a stunningly thin resume. Fugate got the job in May after William Braniff — an Army veteran with over two decades of national security experience — resigned in protest of cuts to CP3. Per his Linkedin page, Fugate said he spent several months performing "lawn care work around my neighborhood," and also worked part time as a clerk at an H-E-B supermarket." (source)
