State Department LGBT, Racial Equity Envoy Profiles Scrubbed After Trump Takes Office

Two far-left State Department officials profiled by The Daily Wire appear to have departed the executive agencies in the wake of Trump’s inauguration, with each of their profiles scrubbed from the government website.

The State Department Special Representative for Racial Equity and Justice Desiree Cormier Smith and Jessica Stern, the Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Persons, appear to have left the executive agency tasked with managing the United States’ diplomacy operations.

The Daily Wire reported in November that the Trump administration could fire both officials in his attempt to purge the far-left diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda from the federal government. Now neither Cormier Smith’s profile nor Stern’s profile are active on the State Department website. The State Department did not respond to a request for comment.

Cormier Smith previously worked for Democrat megadonor and billionaire George Soros and was tasked under the Biden administration with creating “global partnerships to combat systemic racism, discrimination, and xenophobia.” She repeatedly endorsed the core tenets of Critical Race Theory, arguing in one interview that “structural racism, discrimination, and xenophobia are global scourges that require global solutions,” and that “violent white supremacy” is a “global threat.”

The Daily Wire also revealed that Cormier Smith had a troubling social media history in which she called the 45th and 47th president “a blessing to dictators around the world” and cheered on a leftwing activist who called police officers “soulless white folks.”

Stern, the Biden State Department’s LGBT Special Envoy, traveled the globe as she pushed transgender ideology.

Stern has marched alongside transgender Brazilians and celebrated at the sight of children at LGBT pride events. The State Department official’s priorities under the Biden-Harris administration have included establishing “legal gender recognition based on the principle of self-determination” and addressing the “vulnerability of LGBTQI asylum seekers and refugees.”

Stern recognized in one interview that a Trump victory could mean the end of her time as a Special Envoy, saying “we can’t say for sure that we’ll exist in two years,” before adding “Our eye is always on the clock.”

The Trump White House has committed itself to purging leftwing ideology from the federal government. The administration may also end race-based bureaucrat affinity groups, cancel pride month celebrations, abolish identity-based recruitment and hiring programs, and review grantmaking.
