Issa demanded Blinken reveal how much the sessions cost the State Department

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., took aim at Secretary of State Antony Blinken after it was reported that the State Department held therapy sessions for employees who were upset by President-elect Trump’s election victory.

"I am concerned that the Department is catering to federal employees who are personally devastated by the normal functioning of American democracy through the provision of government-funded mental health counseling because Kamala Harris was not elected President of the United States," Issa said in a letter to Blinken last week.

The letter comes after a Free Beacon report earlier this month that detailed two alleged therapy sessions that were held at the State Department after Trump’s victory, with sources telling the outlet that one such instance amounted to an information "cry session."

Well, Trump did give every indication that he's interested in firing them all, so I can understand the concern. But they should buck up and take it on the chin. Start looking into new careers sooner rather than later.

...But not a penny for all of the suffering and trauma that he has helped to bring to innocent Palestinian children.

They continue to work to support the suffering caused as Ukrainians are facing a fierce winter without electricity, over Biden's wars, instead of leaving their jobs; and they need therapy as Trump steps in to negotiate peace?
