An economist with the U.S. Department of Labor who has a history of speaking to the press on behalf of the Obama administration took to Twitter to vent about Indiana’s new religious freedom law enacted late last week.
Elizabeth Ashack wrote:
“people in the red states vote for nazis to govern, and then call themselves Christian, it will not end well for them. #BoycottIndiana”
Ashack’s tweet was first reported by SooperMexican at The Right Scoop.
Ashack has since deleted the tweet and also edited her Twitter profile to remove mention of her position with Labor.
The profile previously read: “Economist at US Department of Labor BLS, Economics, Social Media, Stars, Planets, History, Golf, Former Wall Street, #INTJ”
BLS stands for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the agency that produces the unemployment figures released each month.
INTJ is apparently a reference to a personality type descriptor.
Ashack’s attack and then cleansing of her Twitter profile of her government job is similar to that of Obama appointee Brandon Friedman whose Twitter attacks on Bowe Bergdahl’s platoon mates last year resulted in him altering his profile to remove mention of his position at the Department of Housing and Urban Development after he was called out by The Gateway Pundit for calling the troops “psychopaths”.
Ashack was featured in a 2013 report on MSNBCs All In with Chris Hayes complaining about a potential government shutdown.
“In the event of a government shutdown, the first thing Elizabeth Ashack will do is apply for unemployment benefits.
“”I’m the breadwinner because my spouse is in college,” she told MSNBC on Monday, just hours before the deadline to avert a government shutdown. ”We don’t have a lot of extra money to play around with.”
“Right now, Ashack is an economist for the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. But if the government shuts down, she and hundreds of other federal employees will be indefinitely furloughed without pay. Furloughed government employees will qualify for unemployment benefits, but otherwise they’ll be on their own. Meanwhile, the people actually responsible for the shutdown—members of Congress—will continue to draw their $174,000 annual salary.
“I’m very upset today,” said Ashack. “I was scrambling around today trying to get all the money in the credit union. It’s really sad what’s happened in our country, and there’s a total disregard for federal workers.”
“While economists like Ashack are typically paid around $110,000 per year according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the ranks of non-essential government employees include many who are earning far less.”
Ashack also was interviewed by Reuters in 2013 about the labor market:
“While the unemployment rate has fallen steadily over the last year, the share of part-time workers who want more hours has barely dropped, according to BLS statistics.
“”Workers are not doing well,” said Elizabeth Ashack, an economist at the BLS. “They’re losing ground because wages are not growing in real terms.””
The Daily Caller reported Ashack has worked at the Labor Department since 1998.
Godwin’s law.
Democrats showing again they’re against All freedom ,D’oh
Ok. If that’s the way they want it, let’s just draw our line. They don’t come over here, and we won’t go over there.
Typical DNC/Nazi/Moslem Brotherhood projection.
What an idiot. The DEMOCRATS pushed and passed a RFA law in the 90’s and CLINTON signed it.
What an ignorat sl**.
How about the nazi's that passed the antidiscrimination laws that allowed the governor to sign an anti-discrimination bill/law ?
You don't want anyone touching your precious little queers and we don't want you touching our precious little Christians
See how that works ?
“I beg your pardon!” ... just because I’ll support legislators and legislation that gives freedom of conscience to Christians ... doesn’t make me a NAZI ... !!
If you try to FORCE ME to go along with the homosexual agenda ... that makes you a Nazi!
Reductio ad hitlerum
#ElizabethYouIgnorantSlut
I don’t think her “spouse” is a dude.
Democrat....thy game is projection.
ASS-HACK LOL!
Seriously, everyone PLEASE send this story to your Congressman and Senator. She just called conservatives, Christians, and Republicans NAZIs and then threatened them. I am convinced in some way as an OBAMA government official she will seek to do harm to those who disagree with her.
SHE NEEDS TO BE FIRED!
Yes. That was a nasty threat.
I want that SO much.
And one of the reasons is that they be forced to live the consequences of their beliefs.
Won’t happen though.
Don’t threaten me, Asshack. You won’t like the outcome.
NAZI= National Socialist Workers Party
Does that sound like Liberals or Conservatives?? But as I think about it, Hitler was pretty far to the right of America’s Liberals, but still a wild eyed leftist.
“They’re losing ground because wages are not growing in real terms.””
You mean you are DEVALUING the dollar faster than anyone can keep up with.
Another idiot that needs to get a real job.
