Trump Appointees Told to Resign by 6pm or be Fired Empty Trump Appointees Told to Resign by 6pm or be Fired

Kellyanne Conway hit back at President Biden on Wednesday after he demanded her resignation from a military service academy advisory board, saying: 'I'm not resigning but you should.'

She was one of 12 officials appointed by President Trump told to either resign or be fired at 6pm, provoking accusations that the Biden administration was politicizing what should be non-partisan advisory groups.

The officials include Trump's White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster as well as Conway, a former Counsellor to the President Kellyanne Conway.  

The boards include presidential appointees and members of Congress who are tasked with advising on everything from morale and discipline to the curriculum.

Conway said she would not be resigning from the Board of Visitors to the Air Force Academy and accused Biden of trying to distract from political crises that were engulfing his administration.

She said his request was a break from presidential norms.

'It certainly seems petty and political, if not personal,' she wrote in a letter posted on Twitter.

'The result is that faithful and willing public servants will be discouraged or thwarted from service.

'Our service academies risk being further politicized and polarized.'  

Russ Vought, who was director the Office of Management and Budget under Trump, shared a letter from Catherine Russell, director of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, demanding his resignation from the Board of Visitors to the U.S. Naval Academy.

'Please submit your resignation to me by the close of business today,' it said.

'Should we not receive your resignation, your position with the board will be terminated effective 6:00pm tonight. Thank you.'

He responded: 'No. It’s a three year term.'

A string of other Trump appointees went public with their responses.

Spicer said he would deliver his response during his NewsMax television show on Wednesday evening.

Meaghan Mobbs, a West Point graduate and former Trump adviser on military family issues, wrote in her response: 'It is tragic that this great institution is now being subjected to and hijacked by partisan action that serve no purpose and no greater good.

'Make no mistake, the move to terminate duly appointed presidential appointees sets a dangerous precedent for future administrations and undermines our institutions.'

And no impeachment.

Trump, or Shrub, replaces a few US Attorneys (political positions) and then gets threatened. Big kerfuffle.

Bidet starts sacking CIVIL SERVICE positions, and not a peep.

Of course it's not Bidet. It's Hussein pulling Bidet's strings; and Soros pulling Hussein's strings.
