Ex-MAG​A influencer makes startling claim about State Dept. and 'Palm Beach aesthetic'

A former conservative influencer claims that the State Department under the Trump administration is employing people who encouraged her to pay for cosmetic surgeries and pricey merchandise.

"I don't think you people understand how these people are at the State Department," said Ashley St. Clair, who worked as a brand ambassador for the conservative activist group Turning Point USA, while appearing on an episode of the podcast Krystal Kyle & Friends.

St. Clair never worked for the Trump administration, but she says people who currently serve at the State Department used to encourage her to adopt "a Palm Beach aesthetic" and even pay for breast enhancement surgery. When she was a MAGA influencer, St. Clair used to raise public support for the Trump administration to hire certain conservatives, like Richard Grenell, whom she unsuccessfully pushed for Secretary of State, according to reports.

"There's a class signaling that goes on with the plastic surgery," St. Clair went on. "They're like, 'you need to go see Lara Trump's spray tan girl. You need the Zimmerman dress.'"

She added that Trump officials would talk about "a China lady" who would "get them the fake bags so that they can continue this class signaling."
