特朗普提名的特别顾问候选人在争议中撤回
摘要
保罗·英格拉西亚，特朗普总统提名的特别顾问办公室负责人候选人，在冒犯性短信曝光及缺乏参议院支持后撤回了提名。
保罗·英格拉西亚，特朗普总统提名领导特别顾问办公室的人选，于周二在冒犯性短信曝光后撤回了提名，这导致共和党参议员支持减少。英格拉西亚在社交平台X上宣布了他的决定，称“我将撤回自己参加周四参议院政府事务委员会听证会的资格，领导特别顾问办公室，因为遗憾的是，目前我没有足够的共和党票数。”
争议始于Politico报道英格拉西亚曾在短信中称马丁·路德·金纪念日属于“地狱第七圈”，并自称有“纳粹倾向”。这些揭露促使包括参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩在内的多位共和党参议员表达了对其提名的反对。图恩评论道，“他不会通过”，暗示提名成功的可能性很小。
现年30岁的英格拉西亚于六月被提名领导特别顾问办公室，该机构负责保护举报人并执行限制联邦雇员政治活动的哈奇法案。他有限的法律经验及其与白人民族主义者尼克·富恩特斯和自称厌女影响者安德鲁·泰特的争议性关联，早在短信曝光前就已引发担忧。
英格拉西亚撤回提名后，白宫确认他不再是候选人，但未作进一步评论。
