    The chief of external affairs for the Corporation for National & Community Service — a federal agency — suggests "issue compentancy" tests for voting. In 2018. (h/t @rickhasen)pic.twitter.com/kqSU1NrOgl

        Higbie is the top person at the agency without an "acting" title currently, per the agency's website. [Trump nominated Barbara Stewart to be the CEO of the agency in December.]pic.twitter.com/Wm87jC48mN

        If you remember Higbie's name, btw, this might be why: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/11/17/japanese-internment-is-precedent-for-national-muslim-registry-prominent-trump-backer-says/?utm_term=.3a4942ef5079 …pic.twitter.com/yWoUaDh3jd

        Higbie was a spokesperson for the Great America PAC, a super PAC that supported Trump's election.

        I’ll only consider it if he will consent to spelling “compentancy” tests first... 🤔 In all seriousness, though, that’s disturbing and inappropriate. He needs to be asked about this.

        He’s also a climate-change denier. As a proud @AmeriCorpsAlums, having him represent national service is doing a disservice to all of us.

        Not if the GOP wrote the test and decided what the "right" answer was.

        the delicious thing about this is in any non-racist 'competancy' test numbnuts like him would be the first to go.

        There is a great "competancy" deficit in so many areas; perhaps there should be a literacy requirement for certain federal agency positions.

        When I was an AmeriCorps VISTA I was not allowed to post political opinions on social media.

        How about a competency test for running for POTUS?

        My guess is if that were required, he and most of his kind wouldn't be allowed to vote.🤣🤣🤣
