Trump official put on the spot for saying he wants federal workers traumatized [View all]

During an interview on CNN with host Dana Bash, Donald Trump's budget director was out on the spot for previous comments he made about wanting federal workers to be "in trauma."

Appearing on "State of the Union" to defend the current budget bill coming out of the Republican-controlled NHouse, Bash switched it up on OMB Director Russell Vought by playing a clip of him glibly attacking civil servants.

In the clip he can be heard stating, "“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down so that the EPA can’t do all of the rules against our energy industry because they have no bandwidth financially to do so. We want to put them in trauma.”
