T-rump administration official tells why she can no longer work for T-rump, and warns of an exodus
Bethany Milton, an 11 year U.S. federal government employee as a consular officer in the Foreign Service, wrote an eye-opening op-ed piece in the NY TIMES. She explains why she could no longer work for T-rump, after hearing supporters of T-rump chanting, “Send her back, send her back” in reference to Rep. Ilhan Omar during a recent rally.
“When President Trump’s supporters chanted, ‘Send her back!,’ I took that as a charge for me as well,” Milton asserts. “I asked the Trump Administration to send me back from my overseas posting, shipping home the family, foreign language textbooks and various tchotchkes from ‘shithole countries’ that I’ve collected in my years as a United States diplomat. I am joining a growing list of Foreign Service officers who refuse to serve this administration any longer.”
Milton's career with the Federal Government is quite extensive. From 2014-2016, she “oversaw immigrant visa processing at the U.S. Consulate General in Mumbai, India” — and she “oversaw immigrant visa operations in Kigali, Rwanda, from 2018 to 2019.”
She writes, “As a Foreign Service officer, your job is to support the administration. Without exception. Despite my personal views, I spent more than two years working to carry out the Administration’s immigration and foreign policy priorities. I continued to do so until the very minute I handed in my badge and headed to the airport.”
Milton also warned of a 'growing exodus' brewing from the executive branch under T-rump.
