No, this is not a RW talking point. I'm just noting what is really going on while the tweets have everyone distracted. You are free to ignore this, but it will cost you.

I am familiar with the Washington Examiner. It has been reduced to the level of a handout at Metro stops.

Trump White House opens door to Christian, conservative colleges
by Paul Bedard | May 06, 2019 07:27 AM

Conservative and Christian colleges and universities are landing more interns inside the Trump White House and administration after an 8-year dry spell during the Obama era.

Schools such as Liberty University, Patrick Henry College, and Hillsdale College have seen a significant increase in students winning internships in the Republican administration as well as on Capitol Hill and the U.S. Supreme Court, and it follows a surge in their graduates getting jobs in Washington.

During the Obama years, for example, Liberty landed two interns in the White House. Under Trump, they’ve already placed 11. ... And since Trump became president, Liberty has placed 37 students through its Washington Fellowship program into House and Senate offices. During Obama’s eight years, they had 78 interns on Capitol Hill. ... Michigan’s Hillsdale said its numbers were similar and added that the jobs student interns are taking are much better in the Trump White House.

Ditto for Patrick Henry College, the nation’s first for home-schooled students. The college in Purcellville, Va., about an hour’s drive from the White House, said it had no interns in the Obama White House after having 11 serve in the George W. Bush administration. ... But under Trump, it has already had seven students serve as interns. In addition, it has five graduates working as White House staff and dozens on Capitol Hill.

1. We definately do not need any more Jesus freaks in Washington.

2. Liberty is a joke. I've worked with several "grads" and they are just bad

They are over the place here in the public sector.

Bad at their jobs, bad at conducting themselves in a professional manner, etc. it’s no wonder the Clustertrump is such a shitstorm.

Liberty’s goals are in order:
Flood the field with their little “Christian” soldiers
Infiltrate org charts
Pile up and collect on debt.

The little soldiers think they are doing God’s work (and they will tell you about it) unaware that they are $erving and earthly master.
