Merritt Corrigan, a deputy White House liaison for the U.S. Agency for International Development, was fired on the same day she ranted about LGBTQ issues on Twitter.
She said she would be appearing at a press conference with two notorious, conservative conspiracy theory peddlers, Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, who have a pattern of making outrageous claims unsupported by credible evidence. "Ms. Merritt Corrigan is no longer an employee at the USAID," the agency's acting spokesperson Pooja Jhunjhunwala said in a statement to NBC News.USAID takes any claim of discrimination seriously, and we will investigate any complaints of anti-Christian bias Ms. Corrigan has raised during her tenure at the Agency," said Jhunjhunwala.an appointee of the Trump administration, joined the nation's international development arm several months ago.
And in another tweet, she wrote, "I watched with horror this week as USAID distributed taxpayer funded documents claiming 'we cannot tell someone's sex or gender by looking at them' and that not calling oneself 'cis-gendered' is a microagression I'm not cis-anything. I'm a woman."
