The incident was widely seen as the peak of cancel-culture zealotry. Gr\u00fcber-P\u00e9rez later resurfaced briefly in the Biden administration as a senior advisor at the Department of Health and Human Services.<\/p>\n<h3>The Halloween Party Incident<\/h3>\n<p>Gr\u00fcber-P\u00e9rez attended a 2018 party thrown by then-Washington Post cartoonist Tom Toles despite not being invited. Two years later, she complained that she had seen a woman wearing blackface there. Although the woman, later identified as Sue Schafer, wore blackface in an effort to criticize racism, the complaint from Gr\u00fcber-P\u00e9rez prompted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-media-told-us-the-bombshell-hunter-biden-scandal-was-russian-disinformation-he-just-admitted-the-laptop-could-be-his\/\" title=\"The Media Told Us The \u2018Bombshell\u2019 Hunter Biden Scandal Was Russian Disinformation. He Just Admitted The Laptop \u2018Could\u2019 Be His\">front-page article<\/a> and the cancelation of Schafer and possibly Toles. The article shocked people across the political spectrum with its vindictive and malignant tone, and was described as the \u201czenith of cancel culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Gr\u00fcber-P\u00e9rez in the Biden Administration<\/h3>\n<p>Gr\u00fcber-P\u00e9rez began working as a senior advisor at the Department of Health and Human Services in September 2021. According to her LinkedIn profile, which pictures her with Biden, she left the job after six months and now lives in England.<\/p>\n<h3>The Controversial Law<\/h3>\n<p>The Biden administration position Gr\u00fcber-P\u00e9rez held was funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA), a law which allows outside interests to pay people to work as government employees. HHS declined to describe the funding mechanism to the outlet. Casey is a big-dollar, far-left activist group.<\/p>\n<h3>The Risk of Partisan Billionaires Buying Government<\/h3>\n<p>Casey is a nonprofit foundation funded by the estate of the UPS founder, so it is not serving as a pass-through for a corporation. But it is a radical leftist group, and the federal government allowing it to fund jobs raises the risk that partisan billionaires can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-hired-activist-behind-one-of-the-cruelest-cancellations-in-history\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Hired Activist Behind One Of The Cruelest Cancellations In History\">essentially buy government\u2013providing staff<\/a> to tackle policy favored by the far-left that the federal government otherwise would not have undertaken.<\/p>\n<h3>The Backlash<\/h3>\n<p>The cancellation in the Post was so vengeful that it attracted almost uniform backlash for weeks. The story seemed to be entirely driven by Gr\u00fcber-P\u00e9rez, who emailed Toles out of the blue to complain about the incident at his long-ago party. She demanded to know the name of the guest, and when Toles declined to give up Schaefer\u2019s identity to a stranger, Gr\u00fcber-P\u00e9rez accused him of \u201ca deliberate act of white privilege and cowardice.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Controversial Law<\/h3>\n<p>Under the controversial law, local and state governments and nonprofits are permitted to fund federal positions under certain limited conditions. Grassley suggested that the Schmidt funding could exploit a loophole, with an LLC controlled by Schmidt using the nonprofit Federation of American Scientists (FAS) as a pass-through.<\/p>\n<h3>The Story of Lexie Gr\u00fcber-P\u00e9rez<\/h3>\n<p>Gr\u00fcber-P\u00e9rez, who is Puerto Rican, wrote that she had \u201ca <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/she-metood-a-communist-official-and-went-missing-chinese-state-media-claims-they-have-her-latest-statement\/\" title=\"She #MeToo\u2019d A Communist Official And Went Missing. Chinese State Media Claims They Have Her Latest Statement.\">hard time believing<\/a> that you are genuine in remorse. .\u2009.\u2009. I do not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-zealand-parliament-acknowledges-pain-of-miscarriage-with-new-paid-leave-law-but-still-has-loose-abortion-restrictions\/\" title=\"New Zealand Parliament Acknowledges Pain Of Miscarriage With New Paid Leave Law, But Still Has Loose Abortion Restrictions\">feel comfortable reaching<\/a> out to a woman who publicly harassed me and my friend \u2014 simply because we are not white. This happened in public \u2014 and so I want a public apology.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Cancel Culture Zealotry<\/h3>\n<p>Gr\u00fcber-P\u00e9rez, who could not be reached for comment, has a track record of seemingly absurd cancellations. In college, she forced the cancellation of a charity event raising money for orphans, because she said that the Mexican food-themed fundraiser was cultural appropriation.<\/p>\n<h3>The Risk of Partisan Billionaires Buying Government<\/h3>\n<p>Casey has long been the subject of significant political drama; the UPS founder entrusted his money to a conservative board for the purpose of building orphanages, but board members watched in shock as staff hijacked it for far-leftist purposes, and it was soon no longer running any orphanages at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>being invited, took it upon herself to ruin the life of a private individual who once made the mistake of wearing blackface to a Halloween party.
