Like a page ripped out of a really bad spy novel, Trump critics appear to be slipping secret messages in their resignation letters. But put away that decoder ring: the code has been cracked.
The latest to telegraph a hidden message is Berkeley professor Daniel Kammen, who announced Wednesday he's calling it quits as a science envoy for the State Department.
Like others who have resigned from government advisory councils in recent days, Kammen accused Trump of not adequately calling out white supremacists after the violence in Charlottesville.
“My decision to resign is in response to your attacks on core values of the United States,” Kammen said. “Your failure to condemn white supremacists and neo-Nazis has domestic and international ramifications.”
But look closely. The first letter of each paragraph spells out: I-M-P-E-A-C-H.
Kammen isn’t the first Trump critic to resign in code.
Last week, members of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities – who were holdovers from the Obama administration – announced a mass exodus in response to Trump’s Charlottesville reaction.
One member, Kal Penn, the “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle” star who briefly worked in the Obama White House, posted the group’s joint resignation on Twitter.
The first letter of each paragraph in the memo spelled out "R-E-S-I-S-T.”
Mind. Blown.
