Summary
Trump adviser Alina Habba defended the administration’s firing of 6,000 veterans from federal jobs, falsely claiming without evidence that some were not actually working.
Critics, including fired veterans, dispute this, calling the terminations unfair and demoralizing. Some received termination emails citing poor performance despite positive reviews.
Affected employees, including disabled veterans, described the move as a betrayal.
House Democrats condemned the firings, and some invited fired workers as guests to Trump’s joint address to Congress.
This all went way to fast for them to have been carefully evaluating each person that was fired anyway. They couldn’t possibly make that statement with any accuracy. I’ve worked with a lot of veterans and lazy is not an attribute I’d use to describe the majority of them.
