One of Trump’s newest, Reed Cordish, has been picked to to be assistant to the president for Intergovernmental and Technology Initiatives.

Cordish is also the president of Entertainment Concept Investors, and like many of Trump’s dubious picks, has past actions that are highly questionable.

Cordish is a Trump family personal friend, Ivanka helped him get engaged to his wife! This presidency seems to be about favors and connections rather than who is fit for the job!

Now, Cordish’s company happens to also be being sued right now, for racial discrimination no less!

The Grio reported:

Dante Combs and Adams Williams filed a class action racial discrimination claiming that they were harassed and beaten by white employees. Christian Martinez, a former floor manager, also testified that “Reed Cordish’s code words for blacks was ‘urbans’ or ‘Canadians.’”

Martinez also claimed that Jake Miller, vice president of ECI, “did not want any African-Americans” and that she once overheard Miller demanding that a DJ change the music by saying, “Get that f***ing n**ger music off here.”

William Whitlock, a former employee, also claimed that Miller threatened him because black people had come to his club. “He made the comment that if he ever saw this many n**gers in the building again, he would chain the doors and burn it down with me inside,” Whitlock claimed. “He was embarrassed and horrified to see what we had done to his club.”

Thomas Alexitch testified to being hired to “start altercations with certain groups of people. By starting these altercations, I ensured that these groups of people would be kicked out of the club,” and noted that he “would estimate that 90 percent of the people I started altercations with were African Americans.”

Of course, Trump’s transition team say these claims are baseless and said:

“The allegations referenced against the company were determined to be baseless and dismissed by summary judgment with no finding of wrongdoing,”

“In fact Cordish has been recognized from leading civil-rights groups as a model company for inclusiveness. In its 100-year history, including welcoming over 50 million visitors per year to its developments and with a work-force of over 10,000 employees, the company has a truly exemplary civil-rights record without a single finding against the company or its principals.”

I’m very worried about this incoming team!
