Gov’t workers plan walkout to protest Biden’s Gaza policy, Speaker Johnson calls to fire them

A planned protest could see Hamas-sympathizing federal employees in hot water after the House speaker warned of consequences for “abusing the trust of taxpayers.”
Anti-Israel sentiment from the nation’s capital remained hardly unique to congressional figures dubbed the “Jihad Squad,” particularly in the wake of the Oct. 7 terror attack. Now, with plans announced for a government walkout Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) cut to the heart of the matter stating, “They deserve to be fired.”
The legislative leader took to X Sunday with a simple message that read, “Any government worker who walks off the job to protest U.S. support for our ally Israel is ignoring their responsibility and abusing the trust of taxpayers. They deserve to be fired.”
“Oversight Chairman Comer and I will be working together to ensure that each federal agency initiates appropriate disciplinary proceedings against any person who walks out on their job,” he continued.
