Looking Up the John Ullyot Who Announced And Then Walked Back The Erasing of Jackie Robinson

from the Pentagon website under Trump apartheid policy,  I found out the interesting fact that he's a product of Harvard Harvard University,  an A.B. and also the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, which I don't find at all surprising.    

I'm sure Harvard is proud of having credentialed him, as they no doubt are the other Trumpian fascists who they produced along with the theorists of unitary executive theory and some of the most insane of lawyerly Christian nationalists.   I think it's time that Harvard and, especially, Harvard Law is classified as a fascist training academy that sometimes turns out a few nominal liberals.    As I used to say about one of its biggest celebrities,  Dershowitz, torture advocate who plays a civil libertarian on TV. 

This wasn't the only rodeo for Ullyot,  he was part of Trump I where he had to resign for, wait for it,  trying to cover up the white supremacy of the Charlottesville Nazis and KKK cowards who had a mini Nuremberg rally that led to violence, antisemitic chants and a murder.  

Ullyot came under fire in December [2017] after emails surfaced showing he discouraged the department’s former chief diversity officer from posting a more forceful condemnation of white supremacists and neo-Nazis who participated in the deadly August 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

At the time, Wilkie defended Ullyot in a statement, confirming he was “on the VA team because he is committed to Veterans and has spent a lifetime of exceptional service as a Marine and public servant.”

Last March, USA Today and The Washington Post reported that Ullyot tried to facilitate the ouster of then-secretary David Shulkin by trying to get a top House Veterans’ Affairs Committee staffer to encourage members to demand his resignation.

I have the feeling that Ullyot will show up in future scandals.  American white supremacists with his kind of connections don't just fade away into a white background and there is no one putrid enough for the Ivy League old-boys to drop.
