Speaker Mike Johnson insists any Biden administration employee who walks out over U.S. support for Israel should be fired for 'abusing the trust of taxpayer'.
The top Republican issued the stark warning to the hundreds of government staffers reportedly planning a protest on Tuesday to mark 100 days since the start of the conflict in Gaza.
An anonymous internal cabal calling itself 'Feds United for Peace' have organized the strike as President Joe Biden faces fury from the left over his response to Israel's strikes.
Biden's support for the conflict could cost him significant political currency, particularly with young voters, just as his 2024 re-election campaign heats up.
The reports emerged as pro-Palestinian protesters surrounded the White House, chanted 'f***' Joe Biden and threw bloodied dolls over the security fence.
Johnson said the GOP will make sure federal agencies discipline in anyone who 'walks out on the job',
'Any government worker who walks off the job to protest U.S. support for our ally Israel is ignoring their responsibility and abusing the trust of taxpayers,' Johnson said on X.
'They deserve to be fired. Oversight Chairman (James) Comer and I will be working together to ensure that each federal agency initiates appropriate disciplinary proceedings against any person who walks out on their job.'
**SNIP**
They say they have commitments from people inside 22 federal agencies for the strike, including from the Executive Office of the President, the National Security Agency, Homeland Security, Defense Department, and the FDA.

Fire them for thinking about it.
Wait, if this is planned, wouldn’t this be an insurrection?
The Speaker should team up with Fetterman on this. Based on his current predilections, Fetterman may well support this.
Sounds like an insurrection to me... Send 'em to Gaza and jail them there...
Fire them anyway, whether they are thinking or not.
good of them to out themselves
Preach it!
These protestors do not have the same values as ordinary Americans.
Anybody who thinks that the terrorist attacks in October were somehow justified should be sent to Gaza for awhile, see how that works for them.
If dereliction of duty, taking salary for work not being done and going on illegal work stoppage or a wildcat strike were punished then DC would be a ghost town.
One duty: To keep America’s borders secure.
Speaker Johnson…$1.66 trillion for the year. Border is open, but I should care about some FedGov retards not working, okay.
Make sure you guys put on your $150 shirts today with your favorite ball playing negro’s name on your back.
They weren’t fired... they quit!
When you control the purse but are unwilling to zip it shut.
Title of the thread doesn’t make sense... “IN” Israel?
And Mike Johnson should be fired for not doing anything to stop the influx across our southern border. Seems he cares more about Israel than he does about the US.
They don’t do Jack anyway…..screw em
I didn’t think federal employees were permitted to strike, union or otherwise. But then again this is a new Amerika.
HOPE “IN” is a Misspelling!!
