January 1, DOJ Worker Fired After Insulting National Guard

Wyatt’s Take

• Pam Bondi fired a Department of Justice worker for showing disrespect to the National Guard.
• Elizabeth Baxter made obscene gestures and yelled at the troops in Washington, D.C.
• The Trump administration stands firm against attacks on law enforcement.

Pam Bondi removed an employee from the Justice Department after an incident with the National Guard in Washington, D.C. Surveillance captured Elizabeth Baxter in the act, and she admitted to insulting the Guard.

“¡Que se joda la Guardia Nacional!” Baxter shouted, showing her middle finger to the troops, as witnessed by security and cameras.

Bondi responded by stating, “Hoy tomé medidas para despedir a una empleada del Departamento de Justicia por conducta inapropiada hacia miembros de la Guardia Nacional en Washington D. C.”

Baxter, who worked in the environmental division, was fired on the spot after a review into her behavior.

Bondi made it clear, “Este Departamento de Justicia mantiene su compromiso de defender la agenda del presidente Trump y de luchar para que Estados Unidos vuelva a ser seguro. Si se opone a nuestra misión y falta al respeto a las fuerzas del orden, YA NO trabajará en el Departamento de Justicia.”

The Trump administration has sent more law enforcement and National Guard members into the city to restore order and safety.

The firing sends a message: attacks on those keeping Americans safe will not be tolerated.
