The recent college grad previously prompted a complaint after allegedly sending threatening messages over a girl
A 22-year-old loyalist to Donald Trump with no counterterrorism experience is now leading the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) top terrorism prevention office, drawing scrutiny over his past conduct and the administration’s alleged sidelining of national security.
Thomas Fugate, a recent college graduate and former Trump campaign volunteer, was appointed earlier this year to run the DHS Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3), which oversees an $18 million grant program meant to combat extremist violence, ProPublica reported in June.
Scrutiny around Fugate intensified this week after The Daily Beast revealed he was investigated in 2020 for reportedly sending threatening messages to someone he was competing with for the affections of a girl.

I mean, at 22 even the things you did in middle school are less than a decade ago.
I don’t expect too many upstanding citizens to be part of or want to be part of Trump’s gang-I mean administration
