After the 2020 election, Joe Biden promised to “work as hard for the people who didn’t vote for me as voted for me.”
The results are in, and Biden lied.
Instead, Biden has turned into a one-man revenge force, firing Trump appointees before their term is up, in an “apparently illegal” effort to purge the federal workforce of people who aren’t Biden loyalists—even denying former Trump officials their right to use paid family leave time to take care of their relatives.

It’s a petty and unprecedented campaign of personal attrition aimed at Trump appointees and supporters—and it’s just getting started.
They’ve even gone after the mother of a newborn baby.
Vanessa Ambrosini worked in the Commerce Department under President Trump and, when she had a baby, she arranged to take three months of paid parental leave time.
Biden says he supports parental leave time…but not for Trump supporters.
“I got completely screwed,” she said—and she was one of the lucky ones. Most Trump employees are just being thrown out on their ears.
They’re told they can quit or be fired…even if they have years left on open contracts.

“In the days preceding the firing, Biden’s deputy director of the Presidential Personnel Office, Gautam Raghavan, asked for the resignation of several Trump appointees,” revealed populist pundit Ryan James Girdusky,
Girdusky says Biden’s pressure may break federal law.
When the employees didn’t give the Democrats what they demanded, the pink slips went out—even if the Trump employees had a contract…something that’s triggering a major lawsuit.
One of the people targeted, Roger Severino, led the civil rights office in the Department of Health and Human Services. He did such a good job that, before he left office, President Donald Trump named him to the Council of the Administrative Conference of the United States. That’s an appointed position that lasts for three years.
But Severino’s a conservative who is plugged into constitutionalist legal circles…and that makes him a threat…so Biden fired him.
Raghavan sent Severino an email saying, “I am writing on behalf of President Biden to request your resignation from the Administrative Conference of the United States Council by 5:00 p.m. ET tomorrow, Wednesday, February 3. If you do not resign by that time, your appointment to the Council will be terminated.”
Severino sent him a much different response than he hoped for.

“Because I am not one to be bullied, not even by the President himself, I will not resign my duly commissioned post,” he wrote.
He’s taking Biden to court. “President Biden has no constitutional power to terminate Mr. Severino or any other member of the Council,” his lawsuit says.

And at the rate Biden’s going, it could turn into a class-action lawsuit.

Girdusky says similar emails went out to appointees named Jennifer Dickey, Andrew Kloster, and Dan Epstein…and the list goes on and on.

The Biden administration broke a two-year contract signed by Victoria Coates to lead the Middle East Broadcasting Networks and, when Coates objected to the Democrats firing her assistant, too, they cut off her ability to access her emails.
She called the firing “a clear violation of MBN’s grant and my employment contracts.”
Even CNN reported that, in the Defense Department, Biden appointees “opted to wipe the slate completely clean, dismissing hundreds of members across 42 advisory boards, including a number of last-minute Trump appointees such as former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie, Trump’s deputy campaign manager.”
Biden has reached as low as kicking two members off the National Capital Planning Commission, which just oversees federal property in D.C.
Biden also cleared the decks for his friends in labor unions, who muscled up millions of dollars into his campaigns over the years. Biden fired Trump appointee Peter Robb from the National Labor Relations Board, the federal agency that oversees labor strikes and disputes.

Robb said firing an appointed official is “unprecedented since the nascence of the National Labor Relations Act” in 1935 and “set an unfortunate precedent.”
“To my knowledge this has never happened since the first Council was established in 1980,” said Andy Hollinger, the communications director for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
When the head of the Holocaust Museum says the president is acting like a dictator, people should take notice.
But instead of being ashamed, the Biden administration proudly announced it went even further—demanding eight employees resign from the Federal Service Impasses Panel, another labor dispute panel, because they don’t support Big Labor’s agenda.
One congresswoman from North Carolina, Virginia Foxx, called Biden’s demands that appointees step down or be fired an “outrageous ultimatum.”
These kinds of take-it-or-leave-it demands shouldn’t be surprising from a man who told the president of Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating Hunter Biden, or he’d hold up $1 billion in U.S. aid, demanding a seemingly illegal quid pro quo.

Now, Biden’s using his bully-boy tactics against his fellow Americans.
