Anti-Trump government workers make it easier for Trump to make cuts
Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton said Wednesday on CNN that he believes “thousands” of federal employees could submit their resignations by January due to President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in November.
Since his win with both the Electoral College and the popular vote, Trump has steadily been announcing his nominations, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the director of the Department of Health and Human Services, Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense, and Kash Patel as FBI director. On “CNN News Central,” host Brianna Keilar questioned the Massachusetts lawmaker about whether he has concerns about the FBI becoming politicized following reports that current FBI Director Christopher Wray resigned from his position Wednesday.
“Brianna, that’s exactly the word for it. Trump wants to politicize the FBI, to turn it back to the days of J. Edgar Hoover, where the FBI has its own really lawless agenda, where the FBI is a tool of the state to persecute Americans, not to actually uphold the law for everybody in our land. So it is very dangerous. The calculation that Chris Wray made when he decided to resign is a calculation that hundreds, thousands of federal employees are making right now all across Washington and all across the country,” Moulton said.
...Since Wray’s resignation, Trump took to Truth Social, stating that the resignation was “a great day for America as it will end the Weaponization of what has become known as the United States Department of Injustice.” The former president had originally appointed Wray as FBI director in 2017, during his first administration.
Many Americans think the FBI has become a partisan tool of the Democrats. If these people voluntarily leave that will make it easier for Kash Patel to clean up the FBI and get it to focus on real criminals and not Democrat political enemies. The media also pulled back their veil of phony neutrality.

It was not surprising that the sweeping Trump victory last week produced near hysteria among some Harris supporters from women pledging to break up with men to others cutting off their hair to those pledging to flee the country (including one curiously announcing that he was “leaving the United States” for Hawaii).
It also may not be such a surprise that New York Gov. Kathy Hochul would label over half of the electorate as “anti-American” for voting for Trump or other Republican politicians. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced that we are now officially moving into a dictatorship due to this democratic election.
It is the media elite that was most interesting to watch. Obviously, the response on MSNBC and CNN were expected as figures like contributor Claire McCaskill wept on air.
However, other news organizations like CBS News have long maintained claims of neutrality even as their networks were criticized for openly pushing the Harris-Walz ticket. That included the alleged biased handling of the vice-presidential debate as CBS insisted that its hosts and journalists were completely neutral in the election.
Yet, after the election, there was CBS News anchor John Dickerson getting choked up on national television in an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Dickerson chose to go on a show that has been openly anti-Trump for years. Nevertheless, many were surprised that, even days after the election, Dickerson was still overwhelmed by grief.
