President Trump fired the National Portrait Gallery director on Friday for being “highly partisan” and a “supporter” of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
“Upon the request and recommendation of many people, I am herby terminating the employment of Kim Sajet as Director of the National Portrait Gallery,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.
“She is a highly partisan person, and a strong supporter of DEI, which is totally inappropriate for her position. Her replacement will be named shortly,” he added.
A White House official told The Hill that Sajet has donated to Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign through Act Blue.
The Federal Elections Commission reported that she financially supported Democratic nominees including former President Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, (D-N.Y.), former Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison (D-S.C.) and others through ActBlue.
