President Biden has hired a former career diplomat and Obama White House veteran who lobbied on behalf of Qatar, a U.S. ally with ties to Iran.
Erin Pelton provided strategic consulting and management services to the Embassy of the State of Qatar, according to a report filed with the U.S. Department of Justice in 2018 under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The rule mandates such a disclosure.
Pelton lobbied for Qatar’s embassy while she was working for Mercury Public Affairs, “a global, high-stakes public strategy firm,” according to the firm’s website.
According to a statement issued by the White House, Pelton will join the administration as a special assistant to the president and senior adviser to Susan Rice, his top domestic policy adviser.

Qatar, an ally of Iran, and the home of Al Jazeera; right up Joe Biden’s alley, and Susan Rice’s too.
This is the same Susan Rice who rushed to the microphones to tell the American people that the slaughter of Americans that took place in Benghazi was a spontaneous uprising by innocent Muslim freedom fighters who were offended by an obscure video put out by some white homosexual that painted Muslims in a negative light. Susan and team Obama really thought the average American was so stupid, they would buy the story hook line and sinker.
