Michael Reagan started his March 29 Newsmax column this way:
Well, do tell.
The federal agency packed with “Branch Covidians” responsible for thousands of job losses during the “Great Pandemic Panic” is going to experience some job losses itself.
We can only hope the right fanatics are fired.
Health and Human Services has announced that about 25% of the employees there will find out first hand what it’s like in an unemployment line.
This announcement catches us fresh out of sympathy for an organization that supported closing businesses, was enthusiastically behind vaccine mandates and gave us the “clot shot” to boot.
Reagan spread a lot of misinformation about COVID and its vaccines during and after the pandemic, including the “clot shot” and “Branch Covidians” slurs, and after gleefully touting the jobs being eliminated for no actual reason, he added, “But that’s enough gloating.” But his column is all about gloating that people’s lives are being disrupted by baseless firings because he can’t let go of his anger that his life was inconvenienced over the pandemic. And, of course, he gloated more about this at the end of his column:
As we said previously, the agency that pushed the “clot shot,” funded COVID-19, helped usher mask mandates, and shut down the nation’s economic lifeline isn’t getting much sympathy from your columnists.
Kennedy found HHS had an organizational chart that looked like a dropped bowl of spaghetti, redundant departments and overall administrative bloat.
To say nothing of minds addled by leftist propaganda.
The next step in this process will be an avalanche of lawsuits from fired employees and left non-governmental organizations (NGOs) demanding Kennedy rehire all the fired.
Likely next, will be left judges telling him to do just that, because judges are the only electorate the liberals can still influence.
We wish the secretary luck and perseverance.
He’ll need it.
Reagan has obviously not considered the fact that the mass firings may not have been done in a legal fashion or based on faulty data, or that they disrupt legitimate medical research and will likely affect public health.
