PHILADELPHIA ― A staffer on Donald Trump’s campaign who posted racist material on social media during the election cycle will now be joining the Department of Education, according to an internal email obtained by The Huffington Post. The email was sent to career Education Department employees by Phil Rosenfelt, who will serve as acting secretary of the department, and Jason Botel, new White House adviser for education. HuffPost conducted a search of UnRue’s Facebook posts, which consist primarily of videos and pro-Trump posts. Some called then-President Barack Obama a “terrorist” or charged that he should be arrested for “murder and treason.”The email to Education Department employees does not describe what role UnRue will play at the department. Neither the White House nor UnRue immediately responded to requests for comment.
