Donald Trumps pick to lead the Department of Interior has gotten donations from white supremacists and endorsed them in political races.
Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT), like chief of staff Steve Bannon, brings troubling ties to organized hate groups to the Republican president-elects inner circle, reported Fusion.
Zinke made news during his 2014 election campaign when he accepted a $500 donation from Earl Holt, head of the Council of Conservative Citizens, whose writings about brutal black on white murders inspired Dylann Roof, who gunned down nine black worshipers the following year in a Charleston, South Carolina, church. A spokeswoman for Zinke later said the congressman would donate that contribution to a fund for the victims families.
The website also reported he co-sponsored legislation to designate English as the official language in the U.S., and he discussed the bill in an interview with the anti-immigrant ProEnglish organization, which has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
