Texas mayor and Sharia law crusader Beth Van Duyne starts regional HUD job in Trump administration
The Texas mayor best known for crusading against Sharia law and being sued by the family of “clock boy” Ahmed Mohamed started a new gig this week in President Trump’s Housing and Urban Development department.
