(CNN) A Trump appointee serving on West Point's advisory board has repeatedly spread a conspiracy that the Biden administration is bringing in non-White immigrants as part of a "grand plan" to have them outnumber White Americans of European ancestry in the United States. He graduated from West Point and served in the US Army for nearly 30 years as a decorated combat veteran before retiring as a colonel in 2004. Susan Gough, a Pentagon spokesperson, told CNN that West Point had no say who serves on the board: "The Army has no input as to who is appointed to the USMA Board of Visitors. West Point's responsibility is to update the Board of Visitors, not administer or appoint it." A White House official told CNN that Macgregor's standing on West Point's Board of Visitors is currently being reviewed.
