There were multiple Republican elected officials saying worse things about Hillary on TV. They are government employees. Why aren't you shocked by what they said?
This is asinine. As you have said previously, everyone in Washington has political opinions. Everyone comes to everything they do with a point of view. However, the job of the political staff and professional staff are two different things. We expect the political staff, including the elected officials, to bring their point of view to the job. The professional staff are in the role of carrying out the policies that are crafted by the elected officials. We do not expect the insertion of ideological views within their work.
