GOP Senators Abandon Trump Over Firing Of Chris Krebs
Trump đă nói rơ ngay từ đầu nhiệm kỳ tổng thống của ḿnh, ông yêu cầu nhân viên dưới quyền kư các thỏa thuận không tiết lộ rằng "ông không phải là người thích tố cáo hoặc nói sự thật".
Vào tối thứ Ba, ông đă sa thải Giám đốc Cơ quan An ninh mạng và Cơ sở hạ tầng Chris Krebs sau khi ông này dám nói rằng cuộc bầu cử năm 2020 là an toàn, điều đó có nghĩa là Donald Trump chỉ đơn giản là đă thua cuộc bầu cử.
Sau khi ông Krebs bị sa thải, một số thượng nghị sĩ Đảng Cộng ḥa đă lên tiếng chỉ trích Trump về vụ sa thải, nói rằng ông đă làm tốt công việc điều tra kiểm phiếu và các biện pháp an ninh và Trump đă sai khi sa thải ông ta.
Trump has made it clear since the beginning of his presidency when he became the first president to require his staff to sign non-disclosure agreements that he’s not a fan of whistleblowers or truth-tellers. On Tuesday night, he fired the Director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Chris Krebs after he dared to say that the 2020 elections were secure, which would mean that Donald Trump simply lost the election.
Ben Sasse (R-NE), who has frequently pushed back against Trump over the course of his presidency, said:
‘CHRIS KREBS DID A REALLY GOOD JOB – AS STATE ELECTION OFFICIALS ALL ACROSS THE NATION WILL TELL YOU – AND HE OBVIOUSLY SHOULD NOT BE FIRED.’
Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), who hadn’t so far challenged much of Trump’s actions or policies, was also critical, standing up for Krebs.
‘CHRIS KREBS IS A DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVANT WHO HAS DONE A REMARKABLE JOB DURING A CHALLENGING TIME. CHRIS AND HIS TEAM AT CISA HAVE WORKED DILIGENTLY TO STRENGTHEN OUR ELECTION INFRASTRUCTURE, HELPING TO SHORE UP VULNERABILITIES AND BUILD TRUST BETWEEN STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS. THE CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE CAMPAIGN CISA DEVELOPED TO PROMOTE CYBERSECURITY SHOULD SERVE AS A MODEL FOR OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. THEIR EFFORTS WERE ESSENTIAL IN PROTECTING THE 2020 U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AGAINST THREATS OF FOREIGN INTERFERENCE. I’M GRATEFUL FOR ALL CHRIS HAS DONE AND I WISH HIM THE BEST IN HIS NEXT CHAPTER.’
Rob Portman (R-OH), was more succinct, telling reporters that:
‘I KNOW CHRIS, I’VE WORKED WELL WITH HIM. I THINK HE’S A REAL PROFESSIONAL.’
