Conservatives outraged after Joe Biden promotes queer staffer

Conservative media and influencers are outraged after a queer Biden administration staffer got a promotion.

Tyler Cherry used to work as the Interior Department’s communications director and was recently hired as part of the White House’s communications team. Fox News ran a story on Friday about his promotion that used a picture of Cherry wearing a fishnet top with rose petals on him, even though that is not an official photo of him at work. They also posted a picture of him wearing a white sleeveless top with oversized gold-colored jewelry.

“He looks better than you, Chaya.”

The article itself focused on Cherry’s old social media posts, accusing him of being “anti-Israel” because he tweeted support for “#FreePalestine” in 2014. Fox also criticized Cherry for posting about the death of Freddie Gray, a Black man in Baltimore who was killed while in police custody in 2015.

Fox wasn’t the only conservative outlet outraged at the Biden administration for Cherry’s promotion.

“Tyler Cherry, who identifies as non-binary is: Anti-Israel; Pro-Palestinian ‘Resistance’; Anti-Police; Anti-Capitalism; Pro-BLM; Calls to Abolish the Police; Supports extreme antisemite Linda Sarsour calling her a ‘fierce Muslim woman.’; Wants to stop all arms shipments to Israel,” anti-trans activist Oli London – a white conservative influencer who once got plastic surgery in an attempt to look more Korean – wrote about Cherry, posting a picture of Cherry wearing a dress and earrings.

This is Biden’s new White House Associate Communications Director.

While that post had an argument that was ostensibly about policy, most of London’s posts about Cherry over the past several days have just been pictures of Cherry with a call to mock him.
