Antony Blinken Wants Government Workers To 'Feel Comfortable' Walking Off The Job

Hundreds of U.S. government employees across 22 federal agencies were planning to walk out Tuesday in protest of the Biden administration's support for Israel (which has been waning). The group calls themselves Feds United for Peace and said it was observing a “Day of Mourning” to mark 100 days of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Twitchy readers agreed that they all should be fired. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was asked about that by CNBC, and said that he wants to make the State Department a place where "people feel comfortable doing that." -- Government workers are planning to "walk off the job" in protest of U.S. support for Israel. Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken's response: "The institution that I want to have is a place where people feel comfortable doing that!"

What a wuss. I'm old enough to remember when the air traffic controllers walked off the job. Reagan fired them. Good times. -- Yes let’s support people not doing their jobs. It's just freedom of expression not to show up at work. Blinken speaks "prog-speak." -- Let. Them. Walk. No one would miss them. Make it without pay, so American taxpayers aren’t on the hook for their antisemitic temper tantrum. Nuts, you work for an administration and adhere to their stated policies or resign if you have a moral dilemma. Exactly. Just resign if the administration's policies upset your moral compass that much. This isn't leadership. This is the inmates running the asylum. Speaker Mike Johnson is correct … they all should be fired. Then they'd have that much more free time to protest outside the White House gates.
