DC NPR Story Stars Dumped USAID Staffers Trashing 'Evil' Trump Actions #Political
WAMU-FM, the NPR station airing news all day in D.C., has openly sided with the federal bureaucracy and against the Trump team's effort to reform government. On Friday morning, their aired a story for four and a half minutes during Morning Edition that was devoted only to frustrated staffers at the U.S. Agency for International Development. The "evil" Trump side wasn't allowed to speak.
It was a Tuesday night, and Amy Uccello was planning her return to work as a contractor at the United States Agency for International Development, better known as USAID, where she supported programs promoting adolescent health in countries around the world. She was at the end of her maternity leave. [Photo from WAMU]
But then a letter arrived by email: she was terminated.
“No severance, no cause, no reason,” she said. “I had three days to use medical insurance for myself and my newborn daughter.”
Every one in the story was touted as the most selfless public servant:
“We are people who put others first. We are worried about the children who won’t get much needed food, the sick people who won’t get their vaccines or be able to access a clinic,” said Catherine, a contractor who is focused on supporting democracy and governance and countering violent extremism.
They are "now haunted by the work they know is going undone." Babies will die!
“If we put U.S. foreign aid back into working order, we would save 500 children a day,” said Uccello. “That means that there are 21 babies an hour who are going to die from HIV infection, from malnourishment, from infectious disease like malaria. That means in my daughter’s two hour nap, we could have saved 42 children.”
Trump and Musk are evil men inflicting "torture."
Uccello remembers her last time in the building plainly: fellow contractors crying and hugging; piles of laptops everywhere; empty picture frames on the walls, stripped of images of the recipients of U.S. aid.
That was “psychological torture” for those remaining behind, in Uccello’s mind, a signal “that what they had done meant nothing, who they had helped, who they had served, meant nothing.”
“It’s evil,” she said.
If that's not dramatic enough, try the Apocalypse.
“The only way to describe it is as the apocalypse,” said Taylor Williamson, a furloughed contractor who worked on health systems in East Africa. “Do you decide to curl up and take off with your backpack and go do something else? Do you find a commune and try to rebuild? Those are sort of the two options from The Walking Dead, and that’s where we are right now. We’re in an episode of The Walking Dead.”
Shortly before Trump's inauguration, WAMU held a prime time one-hour call-in special on "The Future of the Federal Workforce" with government employee union leaders to lament everything that was coming.
It's only natural: Government radio is going to rally around the government employees and their unions. It will always tilt to the Left.
