Not ISIS, not Russian hackers, not anyone or anything else.&#8221; The comments were apparently made in reference to video footage\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/09\/20\/us\/video-released-in-terence-crutchers-killing-by-tulsa-police.html\">released<\/a>\u00a0the day before of an unarmed black man being shot by police officers in Tulsa, Okla.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Comments I made five years ago on my personal Facebook account as a private citizen were in response to the uncomfortable\u2014and deeply painful\u2014truth of race-based violence in America that has continued ever since,&#8221; Porter said in statement Tuesday published by Fox News.\u00a0&#8220;The pain I expressed was real. Nevertheless, I should&#8217;ve chosen words that were less passionate and spur of the moment, as well as more constructive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I, of course, know well that not all law enforcement officers pose a threat to our community,&#8221; Porter added. &#8220;Today, I am proud to stand as the State Department&#8217;s first black woman deputy spokesperson, a position that affords me an opportunity to be part of the ongoing conversation regarding nationwide equity and inclusion, as we work to enhance the power of America&#8217;s example overseas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Porter previously served as an aide in the congressional office of now-top Biden White House adviser Cedric Richmond. At the time of the 2016 post, Porter was working for the Truman National Security Project, a left-leaning foreign policy think tank.<\/p>\n<p>The State Department did not immediately respond to <em>Free Beacon<\/em> requests for comment on Porter&#8217;s newly unearthed tweets.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/state-dept-deputy-spox-has-history-of-anti-cop-rhetoric\/\">State Dept.
