Darren Beattie, recently appointed acting president of the U.S. Institute of Peace, has a history of incendiary remarks and was previously dismissed from a speechwriting role.

The dismissal of U.S. Institute of Peace employees in the dark of night is unconscionable and deeply troubling, said George M. Foote, an outside counsel for the institute.

'Our statute is very clear about the status of this building and this institute,' he told reporters. So what has happened here today is an illegal takeover by elements of the executive branch of a private nonprofit corporation.
