I suspect most Americans aren’t going to care about these sob stories from formerly-overpaid government workers who spent their time passing out taxpayer money to foreign entities.

The press trying to make this a thing is funny, though. Absolutely tone-deaf. https://t.co/BnnKhNWY4F

Clips like this aren't effective sob stories. There's such a massive disconnect between the media/political class and most average Americans.

Suck it up, Buttercups

How many stories did they do covering job losses from Biden stopping the pipeline?

Both spouses working for .gov? And if they don't have a job why are they worried about daycare?

Words of wisdom from an old man I knew: "Gravy trains run on short tracks."

How much money did 60 minutes get from USAID?

I am guessing it was more than I got from USAID

Boo F-ing Hoo!!! What part of "public servant" are these Millennial dewshers missing? You don't have a right to a job, it is a privileged. Go learn how to code.

What a set of puss wads! He has a chance to be a man and sweat for a change. Impress his bride for a change. Get a real job lib losers

What are the loyalty tests this guy mentions? My understanding is everyone was terminated and there was no test. The woman in the interview says as much. She says everyone got an email saying they were fired with no discussion. So what was the loyalty test?

I know some Trump voters at other agencies and they haven't been contacted for their loyalty test.

Why are they always so ugly?

Zero, and the President's message to them was "learn to code". I expect these .gov workers are probably more familiar with tech like computers, and it would be much easier for them to do just that.

The only thing this does is expose their BS bias…

Hey CBS… Nobody cares…

Cue the Jurassic Park meme…

Another one-sided story to brainwash the weak minded.

Layoffs happen in the private sector all the time. Gov't workers believe they are entitled to a lifetime job.

It's unfortunate that poor girl thinks that being good at your job means you won't get laid off with no notice.

Welcome to reality.

CBS Sunday Morning had a story about how government cuts were going to kill coal workers because no one was going to watch out for them anymore.

Sooo I'm guessing we won't be seeing him at the start of shift safety briefing in fresh coveralls and a green hard hat in the coming weeks.

These clowns have zero short-term memory. They were likely among those frothing at the mouth to shut down small business FOR A COLD VIRUS that was created in a lab with their own tax dollars (and they still defend the agency even now) and "two weeks to slow the spread", yet when it came to a continuing resolution to keep funding their paychecks, they were absolutely indignant about it.

To see the other shoe drop is absolutely hilarious.

Learn to pick vegetables.

"All Gone, overnight" is music to my (and $38T debt)'s ears!

60 Mins are such liars. As the Community Note states, all employees were offered 8 months of pay & benefits. pic.twitter.com/8djYsnWTJG

LMAO

Hey Dems...

I remember when Ole Joey told all the unemployed coal miners to "learn to code".

Hey Katrina, learn to code.

Also, why hasn't 60 minutes run stories on all the private sector folks that were laid off in RIFs because of Biden's inflation? Those people literally got a call from HR one morning and were told they didn't have a job anymore

Not to mention how many people Biden forced to get the vax in order to keep their jobs.

lol, the media is so pathetic.

Kristina Drye was Samantha Power’s speech writer.

Samantha Power was the former head of the USAID@60Minutes tried to pass off the woman who helped give voice to all of this agency’s corruption as a common civil servant.

🚨🇺🇸MISLEADING MUCH, 60 MINUTES?

60 Minutes claimed Kristina Drye “was fired this month in the chaotic shutdown of USAID.”

What they didn’t tell you? Kristina wasn’t a USAID employee - she worked for XLA and Jefferson Partners, providing speechwriting services for USAID… pic.twitter.com/bzxawR4Rxm

🚨🚨60 Minutes pulled in 2 comms consultants who were never actual employees of USAID and presented them as though they were longtime employees who were fired for lack of "loyalty." 🚨🚨 https://t.co/dxinUlR3T0 pic.twitter.com/nGdEp65DVL

Exactly this. During past economic lean or hard times it was always the private sector taking it on the chin. Government public sector employees just went about their lives with cush jobs and guaranteed pay. Well, screw you for screwing us. Welcome to the real world.

Plus…we've got our field workers now. We will even fly them to the fields. Win-win.

She was…Samantha Powers' speechwriter? LOLOL.

THAT's their sympathetic figure? A pure propagandist is unemployed?

How much money does Sheri Restone grift from USAID to be so obnoxious to run fake people on an investigative news program? We have to start asking these questions - these are deliberate attempts to manipulate minds.

Second, these two boobs - how dumb do you have to be to go on 60 Minutes and think that you won't get outed? I guess as long as some government grift is still available they will receive further compensation for lying to the American public.

There needs to be strong consideration for pulling CBS off the airwaves for repeated violations of promoting knowingly fake news. This is unacceptable.
