On Donald Trump’s first day in office, the Department of Defense announced a spate of hires, including 26-year-old
#Kingsley #Wilson, who will serve as the Pentagon’s deputy press secretary.
Wilson is the daughter of #Steve #Cortes, a longtime Trump advisor and right-wing commentator who promotes Latinos moving to the political right.
Wilson is also a Trump 2020 campaign alum, and until taking the job at the DoD, ran digital media and communications for the Center for Renewing America, a pro-Trump think tank founded by Project 2025 architect Russell Vought.
She’s also an overt internet troll with a long history of bigoted, xenophobic, and deliberately provocative shitposting.
