State Department DEI Head Called Trump Supporters Racist, Praised Anti-Cop Rants In Deleted Posts

A Biden State Department official tasked with combatting “systemic racism” displayed her far-left bonafides in a series of since-deleted social media posts, unearthed by The Daily Wire, in which she blasted Trump supporters as racist and praised a vitriolic anti-police rant from a left-wing activist.

Desiree Cormier Smith is the State Department’s first ever Special Representative for Racial Equity and Justice. Smith, a former employee of George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, is also a far-left radical, as evidenced by a trove of posts on her now-deleted X profile between October 2020 and January 2021, before she was appointed to her post in 2022.

Smith, who is tasked with building “global partnerships to combat systemic racism, discrimination, and xenophobia,” was named to her position as the Democratic administration pursued a broad diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda. Now, she could be relieved of her position as the incoming Trump administration pledges to purge DEI from the federal government.

“We need this kind of honesty and accountability across all our government institutions!!” Smith said in response to a vitriolic rant in 2020 where a left-wing activist named Keiajah Brooks called cops “soulless white people” at a Kansas City Police Commission meeting. “I stan,” she said in another post in response to the video of the diatribe, also requesting someone to put music in the background of the clip.

“I’m not nice and I don’t seek to be respectable. I’m not asking you all for anything because y’all can’t and won’t be both my savior and my oppressor,” the leftist says in the video while speaking at the meeting. “So I’m not here begging anything of soulless white folks.”

Brooks went on to launch personal attacks against the members of the commission, telling one that he was an “out-of-touch and disconnected old white person with nothing but pure apathy seeping through the bulging veins of his paper-colored skin.”

Smith was so enamored with the clip that she asked someone to add backing music to the video, with one user fulfilling her request.

Smith was happy with the product, calling the activist in the video, Keiajah Brooks, “Queen Brooks.”

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), who serves as the Chair of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, told The Daily Wire that Smith’s comments were divisive and harmful.

“The State Department exists to protect and advance the interests of the American people at home and abroad. However, many of Ms. Smith’s comments only serve to divide Americans and damage our cause and credibility on the world stage,” McCaul charged before reaffirming his support for Trump’s goal of purging the woke agenda from the federal government.

“I’m certain President-elect Trump will dismantle President Biden’s woke agenda at State and restore the department to its original mission of creating a more secure, democratic, and prosperous world benefiting Americans and the international community.”

The State Department did not return a request for comment.

The remarks from Smith, who makes over $180,000 a year in her State Department role, were just a sample of the many posts she made pushing far-left views and denigrating white people and Trump.

“Black Voters Saved White America Again and You’re Very Welcome,” she said in one post after the 2020 presidential election. “Interesting how non-Americans are able to see and name this much more clearly than many (white) Americans,” she wrote in a quote tweet to a post arguing that Trump’s 2020 candidacy was evidence that “the US is a deeply broken society.”

“Very very real,” Smith said in response to a tweet that read, “The fact that this presidential race is even this close proves that white supremacy is very real in America.”

She also signaled her agreement that racial minorities are locked in “an abusive dynamic” in which they are “blamed for not overcoming the concerted racism of white ppl.”

In yet another tweet condemning white Trump supporters as racist, Smith urged her white friends to “miss me with the ‘I can’t believe it was so close’ texts and go talk to your racist families and high school friends. We did the work. Now it’s your turn.”

The Open Society Foundations alum directed her ire at Trump in some tweets, including one in which she signaled her belief that Trump was a “textbook” example of a fascist. She quoted a left-wing organization in another post, appearing to affirm the belief that “Donald Trump is a blessing to dictators around the world” and is “creating a global network of gangsters.”

Smith advocated for radical policies as well, calling for reparations and an end to the electoral college system, which she alleged was based on racism.

“We begin to repair our nations through reparations and healing,” one post read, with another saying, “Racism and slavery are at the root of this peculiar way to elect a president. In the 21st Century, it still submerges the Black vote. It’s past time to get rid of the Electoral College.”

In one post, Smith claimed that she was the victim of the type of “subtle racism” that “kills Black women” after a nurse didn’t escort her to the restroom when she had been sedated for a minor surgery.

Smith garnered headlines following her appointment when it was revealed that she had accused white diplomats of being too “protective” of the United States in a podcast interview. Non-white diplomats, according to Smith, “come with a certain humility that I would say that a lot of white foreign service officers lack.”

The far-left official could now be one of the bureaucrats who is fired upon President Trump’s return to the White House.
