In a tense Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing this week, Senator Cory Booker sharply criticized Jeremy Carl, President Donald Trump’s nominee for Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations. Booker focused on Carl’s previous inflammatory statements, including support for the “Great Replacement” theory and remarks widely viewed as racist and antisemitic.

The New Jersey Democrat pressed Carl directly about his history of controversial rhetoric, demanding clear answers on these past positions. Lawmakers and observers highlighted the nominee’s associations with white nationalist ideas, intensifying the exchange.
Carl faced tough questions on endorsements that have drawn widespread condemnation. Officials note that such views conflict with the diplomatic role he seeks, prompting Booker to leave no ambiguity in his rebuke.
