President Donald Trump nominated Tim Kelly, a Michigan state representative, to serve as an assistant secretary of education in the Department of Education. But the Trump administration withdrew the nomination after it was revealed that Kelly had called for banning all Muslims from air travel, said that women aren’t interested in science careers, and called the parents of low-income preschools “academically and socially needy.”

In an interview with Politico, Kelly said his comments were taken out of context and accused the “deep state,” “haters” and federal employees who don’t like Trump for making the nomination process “toxic” and “intrusive.”

Here’s what Kelly said Muslims in December 2009.

 “Since 9/11, we continue to live the ridiculous myth that bombings in the name of Islam can, have, and will be perpetrated by anyone other than Muslims so we must therefore screen everyone. … Instead of assuming that all people are interested in, let alone capable of, blowing up Western, Christian, or Jewish things, let’s assume that all Muslims are. Then it remains their problem in clearing their individual names off of any no-fly or border crossing lists.”

Kelly defended the post by saying he was “upset” when he wrote it.

So then his comments weren’t taken out of context and he needs anger management training.

The Deep State had no comment.
