Blinken questioned for State Department hosting in-house therapy sessions after Trump win

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., took aim at Secretary of State Antony Blinken after it was reported that the State Department held therapy sessions for employees who were upset by President-elect Trump’s election victory.

"I am concerned that the Department is catering to federal employees who are personally devastated by the normal functioning of American democracy through the provision of government-funded mental health counseling because Kamala Harris was not elected President of the United States," Issa said in a letter to Blinken last week.

The letter comes after a Free Beacon report earlier this month that detailed two alleged therapy sessions that were held at the State Department after Trump’s victory, with sources telling the outlet that one such instance amounted to an information "cry session."

In another instance, an email went out to agency employees and touted a separate "insightful webinar where we delve into effective stress management techniques to help you navigate these challenging times" after Trump’s victory, according to the report.

"Change is a constant in our lives, but it can often bring about stress and uncertainty," the email said. "Join us for an insightful webinar where we delve into effective stress management techniques to help you navigate these challenging times. This session will provide tips and practical strategies for managing stress and maintaining your well being."

In his letter to Blinken, Issa argued that the reported sessions were "disturbing" and that "nonpartisan government officials" should not be suffering a "personal meltdown over the result of a free and fair election."

Did they give out blankies and binkys too? What about chocolate milk?

No wonder the worlds has gone to hell. My bro-in-laws brother just had his birthday. He enlisted to fight in Korea. He was a kid who lied about his age.

He is still one of the toughest marines I have ever met.

God help this country if the fighting come here.

I suspect it’s more ‘resistance training’ (and I ain’t talking weights) rather than any form of ‘therapy’.

I had a bizarre conversation with my Marxist brother in 2007 when Nancy Pelosi took the position of House Speaker from Hastert. He stated that it was “the first morning in years that” he didn’t feel like “putting a gun to his head upon waking up.”

Fundamentally, there is something very wrong with them.

Senator Joseph McCarthy (WI-R) was right seventy years ago.
The State department is teeming with commie steers & queers.
Fire everyone, start over.

Give them something to cry about. I've had it with these people.
