A top Justice Department official is continuing her multi-day social media tirade as she continues to fend off online attacks from critics, including many from President Donald Trump’s own base of supporters.
Harmeet Dhillon, who Trump tapped to help lead the DOJ’s Civil Rights office as its assistant attorney general, launched into a vulgar tirade Sunday night at MAGA influencers for criticizing the Trump administration, blocking several on social media and calling them “hoes” and “useful idiots.” Her online posting spree continued into Monday night after she was taunted by former Rep. Adam Kizinger (R-IL).
“It will be interesting when Trump is out and all of you wear a scarlet letter and nobody will hire you, except Fox News I guess, because you worked for him,” Kinzinger wrote Monday night in a social media post on X. “That will be rough. Enjoy the next few years.”
Within four minutes, Dhillon fired off on Kinzinger, bragging about her work history and attacking him for his pro-Ukrainian advocacy.
“Bro, I’ve been a CEO of two entities I founded for decades,” Dhillon wrote in a social media post on X. “Take your slava mentality elsewhere. I’m not seeking employment. I am a job CREATOR.”
Dhillon has been a fixture on Fox News for years, appearing as a guest a number of times on the conservative network. As for her role as a CEO, Dhillon founded her own law firm, Dhillon Law Group Inc., and Center for American Liberty, a conservative civil-liberties legal organization that has launched several legal challenges to state governments over COVID-era policies.
Beyond her spat with the former congressman, Dhillon continued to lash out at her critics online, including X user “Bearded Patriot,” who offered Dhillon a moderately critical take that her rhetoric was overly provocative.
“You don’t have to be a d--- to those of us that are concerned for our country,” they wrote in a social media post on X.
“Are you a paid influencer spouting lies?” Dhillon
fired back. “If not, I didn’t comment about you. Don’t be a snowflake.”
