A New Trump Administration Lawyer Is A Self-Described 'Raging Misogynist'
HuffPost
Andrew Kloster, a conservative ally, most recently served as general counsel to former Rep. Matt Gaetz.
Andrew Kloster, who once proclaimed online he is a ”raging misogynist,” is now the general counsel for the Office of Personnel Management, an entity that oversees more than 2 million civilian federal workers.
Kloster described himself as a misogynist on X, formerly Twitter, in February 2023 when replying to a user who said, “women love a sprinkle of misogyny in a man.” He wrote: “I’m 100% women respecter precisely because I’m a raging misogynist. I’m so kind you’ll want to kill yourself and die, which is the goal.”
Kloster served as a deputy general counsel at the Office of Personnel Management during President Donald Trump’s first term. His return to the agency was first reported Wednesday by public corruption watchdog Project On Government Oversight.
Neither Kloster nor the OPM immediately returned a request for comment to HuffPost on Wednesday.
Kloster slid into the role of general counsel just last week as a slew of hiring, firing and funding freeze memos and directives from the new Trump administration started flowing in. As HuffPost reported Tuesday, federal workers are currently being targeted with questions by the Trump administration, including asking them to explain whether any of their grants, loans or other financial aid is being used to engage in DEI programs, support or promote abortion or if their services assist immigrants.
