Blinken mocked for hosting State Department ‘cry sessions’ after officials have ‘personal meltdown’ over Trump victory

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is under fire after being accused of holding therapy “cry sessions” for department staff upset over Donald Trump’s election victory.

Blinken, who is expected to be replaced by Marco Rubio in January, has frequently clashed with the Republican-controlled Congress. In September, he was held in contempt for skipping a hearing into the disastrous exodus from Afghanistan.

California congressman and Trump ally Darrell Issa wrote an open letter to Blinken criticizing the State Department for the rumored advisory sessions on Trump’s victory, calling them “disturbing.”

Reports of the meetings first emerged on Nov. 11, when a memo to department employees titled “Managing Stress During Change” was sent less than a week after Trump’s victory.

Sources told The free beacon of Washington the meetings amounted to a “shouting session” for bereft Liberal staffers.

Issa wrote to Blinken this week: “I am concerned that the Department is targeting federal employees who have been personally devastated by the normal functioning of American democracy by providing publicly funded mental health care because Kamala Harris is not elected President of the United States.” United States has been chosen. States.’

The email promoted how staffers could take advantage of a stressful environment of change that Issa said saw a “personal breakdown over the outcome of a free and fair election.”

“Change is a constant in our lives, but it can often bring stress and uncertainty,” the email said.

‘Join us for an insightful webinar as we dive deeper 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.”

At least two meetings on this topic were scheduled within three days.

The Bureau of Medical Services Department Employee Consultation Services hosted the session.

Counseling sessions epitomize a State Department that resembled academia gone mad, a source told the Free Beacon.

“For four years, too much emphasis within the grassroots has been placed on people’s feelings, often with a college campus-like enthusiasm, rather than on advancing American interests.”

Issa’s letter comes after a Free Beacon report earlier this month detailed two alleged therapy sessions held at the State Department after Trump’s victory, with sources telling the newspaper that such an instance amounted to an information ‘crying session’.

“The very fact that the Department is hosting these sessions raises important questions about the willingness of its staff to implement the legitimate policy priorities that the American people have elected President Trump to pursue and implement,” the letter, which Fox News Digital has obtained.

“The Trump administration has a mandate for wholesale foreign policy change, and if foreign service officials cannot follow the preferences of the American people, they should resign and seek a political appointment in the next Democratic administration.”

The State Department appears poised for long-overdue reforms under the leadership of Florida senator and former presidential candidate Rubio.

Rubio, who was elected to the Senate in 2010, is considered a foreign policy hawk and will guide Trump’s prowess on the world stage.

He is currently the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee and was considered for a spot on Trump’s short list for vice president earlier this year.

The son of Cuban immigrants, Rubio has built his brand in Washington as a tough opponent for Iran and China.

Trump is determined to end Russia’s war in Ukraine on the first day of his second term as president.

And the Middle East, plunged into chaos amid Israel’s conflict with Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, will prove challenging as China continues its efforts to sabotage the US.
