“Trump previously ordered all Transportation Security Administration employees to receive immediate pay in an effort to address long wait times at airports that had resulted from a surge of employees calling out. “
They will still vote RAT.
There are many GOPers and conservatives in government services, my good FRiend, and one suspects that DHS is well-represented.
Of course. But they will have to look elsewhere for their cause celebre.
