Donald Trump’s pick for a top diplomatic post has championed “white supremacist, racist, antisemitic and homophobic views”, a former US state department official has warned.

Jeremy Carl is set to go before the Senate foreign relations committee on Thursday as the president’s nominee for assistant secretary of state for international organisations, a role that involves managing relationships with and policies toward the United Nations and its agencies.

Carl, from Montana, served as deputy assistant secretary of the interior during Trump’s first term. He is now a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, a conservative thinktank based in Upland, California, and specialises in issues such as immigration, multiculturalism and nationalism.

He faces a rough ride from Senate Democrats over a long history of inflammatory remarks, some since deleted from social media, many on the topic of race.

Carl has repeatedly expressed sympathy for the “great replacement” theory, a baseless notion that immigration is engineered to supplant white populations. “Imagine thinking the Great replacement is a conspiracy theory,” he wrote in September 2021.

In 2021, responding to comments by then congresswoman Cori Bush about systemic racism, he wrote: “There is no ‘peaceful coexistence’ we are going to have when our opposition is led by people like this. We either win or die.”
