Clinton To Anti-Trump Federal Employees: Don’t Quit!Daily Caller, Sep 19, 2017, Jack Crowe
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton implored federal employees to remain in their posts despite their political opposition to President Donald Trump Tuesday night on her first book tour stop in Washington, D.C.
Clinton urged federal employees to “Stick it out, stick it out, because the tide has to turn,” during a book signing event at the Warner Theatre, Politico reports. She asked that they not resign despite the “disregard, even contempt, among many in this administration about what federal workers know and what they’ve done, and the advice they can give.”
Clinton cited the heightened tensions between the U.S. and North Korea as a prime example of the necessity of professional expertise and experience in government.
“I don’t want us to lose the decades — really, if you added it all up, the thousands of years — of experience in the EPA, in the State Department, in the Labor Department, in a lot of the places being targeted by the administration,” Clinton told the crowd. “At some point they’re going to need you, and the country is going to need you. And I hope you’re still there.”
