Blinken mocked for hosting State Department 'cry sessions'

Featured Replies

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is under fire after being accused of holding therapy 'cry sessions' for department staffers upset over Donald Trump's election victory.

Blinken, who is expected to be replaced by Marco Rubio in January, has frequently clashed with the Republican-controlled Congress, being held in contempt in September for skipping a hearing on the disastrous exit from Afghanistan.

California Congressman and Trump ally Darrell Issa wrote an open letter to Blinken smashing the State Department for the rumored counseling sessions over Trump's win, calling them 'disturbing.'

Reports of the meetings first came out November 11, when a memo to department employees titled 'managing stress during change' was sent out less than a week after Trump's victory.

Sources told the Washington Free Beacon the meetings amounted to a 'cry session' for bereft liberal staffers.

Issa wrote to Blinken this week: 'I am concerned that the Department is catering to federal employees who are personally devastated by the normal functioning of American democracy through the provision of government-funded mental health counseling because Kamala Harris was not elected President of the United States.'

The email promoted staffers as being able to take advantage of a stressful environment of change which Issa termed as having a 'personal meltdown over the result of a free and fair election.'

Probably right mdr224...... but no matter what state their country in, they probably dont feel they need

Therapy after an election......

But then, better they talk than go out and buy a weapon and shoot all those others.

 

And somehow it is almost funny when some Trump supporters suddenly like the idea about peaceful transfer of power.

It's either laugh at the US or cry because they are destroying so many countries and lives around the world, directly or indirectly.

 

I hope I never ever again hear anything about that vile man after he is kicked out next January.

Sounds like a few so called "democracies" I've live in.
