My statement on the recent firing of Michael Atkinson, Intelligence Community Inspector General:
“Right now, our nation is dealing with an unprecedented threat in the form of COVID-19. Thousands of Americans have died, over a million individuals around the world are infected.
“Right now, our nation is dealing with an unprecedented threat in the form of COVID-19. Thousands of Americans have died, over a million individuals around the world are infected.
This disease is still rapidly spreading. Our communities are scared, as people are not only concerned about catching or spreading the disease; but, also how to take care of their families as our economy is collapsing.” #COVID19Pandemic #MichaelAtkinson
“With all of this chaos occurring throughout the country, I don't understand why the President decided that now is the proper time to fire an employee he doesn't like. Now is not the time to be focusing on politics.“
We need our top leadership to understand and accept its responsibility. Now is not the time for politics. Now is the time for states to get more ventilators and for our people to get the resources they need to make it through this tragedy. We need the President to do his job."
