In his condemnation of protesters, David Bernhardt was wading into the culture wars with a zeal that does not ordinarily attach to the role of interior secretary. And since Bernhardt happens to be in charge of public lands, he can effectively campaign for Trump while claiming to do agency work.
WASHINGTON — 1130 WISN is a conservative talk radio station in southeastern Wisconsin and, by dint of its reach, is not a regular stop for high-level White House officials. But as it happens, southeastern Wisconsin’s swing counties, which voted for Donald Trump in 2016, are critical for his reelection chances.
Bernhardt also confirmed that federal authorities were monitoring social media postings from the protests, potentially in order to arrest people defacing or vandalizing government property. In July, the legal blog Lawfare reported on a Department of Homeland Security memorandum that authorized “expanded intelligence activities necessary to mitigate the significant threat” from protests in many American cities that sometimes turned violent. That directive was intended for the DHS Office of Intelligence & Analysis. It is not clear whether Bernhardt was referring to that program or another.
Until this summer’s protests, the 50-year-old former lobbyist had kept a meticulously low profile and rarely made news. But one would hardly guess as much from his conversation with McKenna, the Wisconsin radio host.
