8:47Now PlayingThe Trump administration is plodding ahead with its pattern of hiring people with extremist views, including those with a history of posting white supremacist remarks. This month alone, DHS hired 21-year old Peyton Rollins, the aide behind the Labor Department’s controversial posts with nationalist messaging. At the same time, Jeremy Carl, President Trump’s nominee for a top diplomatic post, was grilled by senators this week over past inflammatory posts. Christopher Mathias, a journalist covering the far right, joins The Weekend: Primetime to discuss why we’re seeing so many people with well-documented histories of racist marks in top roles across the Trump administration.
