Senate Grilling on 'White Culture' Sparks Cringe-Worthy Exchange With Trump Nominee
During a Senate confirmation hearing, Trump State Department nominee Jeremy Carl wavered when asked to define 'white identity' or 'white culture,' prompting Senator Chris Murphy to press him on values that differentiate白 identity from other groups. Carl referenced Anglo-derived culture and elements like white churches and food, then suggested the issue has become 'balkanized' due to mass immigration, leading to a viral, awkward moment and renewed scrutiny of his views on race and national identity.
