The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of a Defense Department Branch Chief attacking President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Nicolas Turza, a Department of Defense Branch Chief, called President Trump “illegitimate” and vowed to “resist him, everything he does.”

Turza also attacked Hegseth and said the 44-year-old is “insanely young” and unfit to lead.

“The same guy who tried to overthrow an election is just, like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship. He’s illegitimate. He’s terribly immoral, breaking every norm. We’re going to resist him. Everything he does,” Turza said about Trump.

A Branch Chief in .gov is normally a first level supervisor.

They have no union protection and can be fired at will.

Multiply this miscreant times 50,000 in the big Fed blob. It will take every minute of four years just to find half of them.

The notion that federal employees can engage in open insurrection against the White House or Cabinet officials without serious consequences is insane on its face.

Yup—that is why you cut staffing as deeply as possible.

It does not solve the problem but reduces its scope.

I dunno, It’s been a while since I’ve been employed, but this sounds like what we would have called “ a career limiting move”.

VERY low level employee; first level supervisor. Like a LTC basically. Picking on this idiot is pretty stupid.

How did Hegseth miss this one?

It must be hard to root them all out...and quickly.

I'll wait to see which District Court judge orders his reinstatement inside the Pentagon, or wherever he's located.

Can we start a petition saying we the people are sick and tired of unelected bureaucrats trying to steal from us the President we elected to do what he said he would do.

Signed,

All of Us

I would sign it in a heartbeat. Especially if it was addressed to the swamp in DC bureaucracy, political office, law offices, and the media.

No. I can’t interpret that. At. All.

I think that means he is Lloyd Austin’s homosexual lover.

And they better be checking out who this “we” is, that he says is going to resist everything Trump says.

Ya know, it might be easiest to just get rid of everybody and start from scratch.

First level supervisors have no legal protection in the government.

It is the “danger zone”.

Who was Turza talking to? If Turza was shooting his mouth off to a stranger, he is a national security risk. He should be investigated as a spy. He is obviously infected with the woke mind virus.
