Zinke: 30 Percent of the Interior Department Is Not Loyal to Trump

Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke said about 30 percent of his department is not loyal to him and the man who appointed him, President Donald Trump.

Speaking to the National Petroleum Council, Zinke prioritized deregulation but said the administration’s efforts are meeting resistance from within the department, the AP reports. He used the metaphor of the Interior Department as a pirate crew divided about what to do when it captures a ship.

"I got 30 percent of the crew that’s not loyal to the flag," Zinke said. He explained that he knew the department of 70,000 was not loyal to the Trump administration when he assumed the job in March.

Only 30%?  Better than I would have thought.

Fire them.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

It is more important they are loyal to the Constitution and laws of the land. Not a man.

(not saying they are loyal to either, but way too much is being made out of loyalty to a specific individual).

The President needs to know that his policies are being executed and that the policies of those he picks to act on his behalf (like the Secretary of The Interior) are being executed as well.

That 30% could very well be in positions to undermine the rollback of Obama and even Clinton era land grabs and efforts to block energy exploration.

Why take the chance...give them a pink slip and let them try to catch on again during the next Democrat Presidency.

That was my thoughts as well.  70% loyalty in a government entity to a character like President Trump?  I'm impressed.

That's probably 10% loyalty to POTUS + 60% loyalty to a steady paycheck.

Not to mention the State Department, EPA and who knows how many other gov't bureaucracies are actively working against the administration's policies.

Dems Get Irate After Interior Secretary Zinke Says 30% of Department ‘Not Loyal’

Posted at 5:58 pm on September 26, 2017 by Jim Jamitis


It’s being reported today that Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke estimates that around 30% of his agency is not “loyal to the flag.” After the #TakeTheKnee protest this weekend, one might think he literally means “the flag” but he’s talking about the leadership of the Executive Branch—President Trump and his Cabinet.

Like anything reasonable and true, this has the Left sputtering and fear mongering.
