According to videos and tweets first uncovered by Media Matters, Ximena Barreto, a deputy director of communications at HHS, repeatedly pushed false claims about the nonexistent pedophilia ring run out of a Washington, D.C., pizzeria, as well as making disparaging comments about African-Americans and Muslims.
In November 2016, she tweeted that efforts by Hillary Clinton supporters to start an election recount were "a hoax so we get distracted from #Pizzagate."
The Pizzagate conspiracy theory posited without evidence that high-ranking Democrats were involved in a nonexistent child sex-trafficking circle. In December 2016, a man motivated by the conspiracy theory fired a gun in the business.
Many of Barreto's comments no longer exist online, and her Twitter account is locked. The Hill viewed the posts and videos through content archives.
In addition to promoting Pizzagate, Barreto in the same 2016 Periscope video talked about "reverse racism" and said "African-Americans are way more racist than white people."
She also said Islam was a "f---ing cult, not a religion."
In a separate video, Barreto asked whether members of the Muslim Brotherhood had infiltrated Congress.
Are they out of their minds? Mentioning the Muslim Brotherhood is not a good thing for them. Wild.
PG connected because well, it mentions Hillary Clinton's involvement with a child sex-trafficking circle and Comet Ping Pong.

Yes! AND, how can they even call it wrong about her statement about the Muslim Brotherhood after all the Awan Bros. news. Their being hauled in an charged is evidence that she is correct. I want this to blow up, really I do. I want Twitter to go wild on this. Watch the comments then. The Hill and Media Matters can come out with this because there is no where to come back with the Backlash. And I ask again, Where in the world is David Brock?

Totally. Good thinking.
