Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired a DOJ paralegal who was caught flipping the bird at National Guardsmen working in Washington, D.C.
The paralegal, identified as Elizabeth Baxter, was on her way to work at the DOJ's environmental division when she flipped off a National Guard member and then bragged about it to a security guard working in the lobby of her building.
Baxter told the guard that she had encountered the National Guard member at the Metro Center Metro Stop when she made the obscene gesture and loudly proclaimed, “F–k the National Guard."
Her bad behavior didn't stop there, as she was later observed on that same day by DOJ security cameras flipping off the National Guard and saying, “F–k you!” Keep it classy, leftists.
Many of Washington, D.C.'s residents are grateful to have the National Guard in town, as there has been an unprecedented drop in crime. For the first time in years, its fairly safe to walk the streets of the nation's capital without risking being robbed at gunpoint.
Regardless of one's feelings about the situation in Washington, D.C., it's unacceptable for a public servant to be making obscene gestures to other public servants who are doing their jobs. Only a leftist would ever think it's acceptable to treat America's armed forces with such disrespect.
An investigation into Baxter's actions was quickly conducted, resulting in the issuance of a termination letter that read, "You are removed from your position of Paralegal Specialist, GS-0950-11, Environmental Defense Section, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and from the federal service, effective immediately."
In comments made to The New York Post, Bondi explained that, "Today, I took action to terminate a DOJ employee for inappropriate conduct towards National Guard service members in DC."
She went on to warn other DOJ workers by saying, "This DOJ remains committed to defending President Trump’s agenda and fighting to make America safe again. If you oppose our mission and disrespect law enforcement — you will NO LONGER work at DOJ.”
This incident with Baxter comes after another DOJ paralegal, Sean Charles Dunn, was charged with throwing a Subway sandwich at federal law enforcement. He was lucky to avoid felony charges for his absurdly boneheaded decision.
Interestingly, Baxter and Dunn worked in the same building and were both paralegals. Clearly, it's time for Bondi to review the hiring practices that have allowed for such a toxic and disrespectful culture to flourish.
The decision to deploy the National Guard to clean up D.C., since Democratic mayor Muriel Bowser would rather coddle criminals, has led to fantastic results with over 1,000 arrests made, according to Bondi.
Of particular note is the seizure of over 100 illegal firearms. Typically, leftists are demanding that weapons be seized, but because the Trump administration is disarming criminals and not regular citizens, leftists are angry.
Washington D.C.'s police union is also happy with the National Guard's presence, and the police union thanked the Trump administration for their focus on cleaning up the city, something D.C's metropolitan police have been unable to do thanks to soft-on-crime leadership.
This cleanup of Washington, D.C. has starkly illustrated how Democrats are on the side of criminals over regular Americans. Liberals like Baxter are flipping the bird at our troops who are making life better for law-abiding citizens.
