With friends like these...
James O'Keefe caught this guy on tape spouting off about the President:
Benjamin Ellisten, a senior budget analyst and funding manager for the White House, told James O’Keefe’s undercover journalist that Trump is a "madman” who is "f*cking it up for everybody.” Ellisten, who has worked at the White House since 2024, has since been placed on administrative leave, a White House official told the Daily Caller.
[...]
Ellisten was caught telling O’Keefe’s reporter that Trump is a "mess,” saying they "gotta get rid of him.”
"He’s a madman,” Ellisten told the undercover journalist. "Literally. He’s invincible. Nothing can stop him, and that’s dangerous.”
While he's entitled to his own opinion as an American he is NOT entitled to trash his employer in this fashion. If I had been caught calling my boss insane I would expect to be fired.
The point is this guy isn't an outlier; there are probably a lot more like him burrowed deep inside the machine. And a guy like this will not just do his job and take action on election day - he'll no doubt try to undermine this President and his policies, the policies he was duly elected by the American People to implement.
If he had any normal sense of shame he'd resign, but people in Washington aren't normal. I imagine he'll hang in there, hoping Trump fires him so he can go on the talk circuit and bring a lawsuit.
