Using an Italian slur for Black people, Ingrassia wrote a month earlier in the group chat seen by POLITICO:
🚨🚨🚨
“No moulignon holidays … From kwanza [sic] to mlk jr day to black history month to Juneteenth,” then added: “Every single one needs to be eviscerated.”

POLITICO interviewed 2 people in the chat & granted them anonymity after they expressed concerns about personal & professional repercussions. One retained the messages & showed the text chain in its entirety to POLITICO, which independently verified that the number listed on the chain belongs to #PaulIngrassia. The person said he came forward because he wants “the government to be staffed with experienced people who are taken seriously.”
