A White House staffer has been promoted despite having a public history of essentially being anti-police.

Tyler Cherry was named the White House’s associate communications director after working for more than three years at the Department of Interior. The staffer faced criticism for his numerous anti-police posts on social media.

Cherry called for the abolishment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in a 2018 post.

Tyler downplayed his public-facing online comments in a statement posted to X on Sunday.

“Past social media posts from when I was younger do not reflect my current views,” he wrote. “Period. I support this Administration’s agenda — and will continue my communications work focused on our climate and environmental policies.”

Cherry had also expressed anti-police views after the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore in 2015.

“Praying for #Baltimore, but praying even harder for an end to a capitalistic police state motivated by explicit and implicit racial biases,” he wrote, according to Fox News.

“Apt (sic.) time to recall that the modern day police system is a direct evolution of slave patrols and lynch mobs,” another tweet read, per Fox News.

Cherry has also expressed anti-Israel views.

“Cheersing in bars to ending the occupation of Palestine — no shame and f**k your glares #ISupportGaza #FreePalestine,” he tweeted during the 2014 Gaza War.

Other posts accused the Republican Party of racism.

“The Tea Party was never about the debt/deficit but about racism and white grievance politics,” he tweeted in 2017.

According to Social Blade, Cherry deleted nearly 2,500 posts on Twitter between Sunday night and Monday morning after facing backlash for his social media activity.

Prominent accounts on X slammed Cherry in response to his statement, with some highlighting photos of the White House staffer, who is a man, wearing dresses.

“This is Tyler Cherry. He was just promoted to White House Associate Communications Director,” LibsofTikTok tweeted along with several photos.

Andrew Bates, the senior deputy press secretary at the White House, told Fox News, “We’re very proud to have Tyler on the team.”
