In 2017, Patterson co-wrote an op-ed for The Federalist website blaming mass killings on immigrants who failed to “assimilate” into American culture.
The nominee for a top personnel job in the Pentagon has withdrawn, according to three sources close to the matter, the latest in a string of vacancy problems among high-ranking civilian officials at the Defense Department.
The column came out days after an immigrant from Uzbekistan who was inspired by ISIS allegedly drove a truck into cyclists and runners in lower Manhattan, killing eight and injuring a dozen more. “We citizens welcome legal immigrants with the assumption they come of their own free will. That means they come to accept living in the United States with our laws and our culture the way it is, not the way they might want to change it.”
Donovan’s job is to advise the Defense secretary and his deputy on readiness, health issues, training and personnel matters. That includes “equal opportunity, morale, welfare, recreation, and quality of life matters,” according to the DoD. The principal deputy job, for which Patterson was nominated, would oversee those areas as well.
