Earlier today, Twitchy shared the Washington Post’s story about senior management of the State Department resigning. Turns out that was fake news … and nobody is the least bit shocked.
To recap: Media breathlessly reported mass walkout of "entire" State Dept. senior management.
What happened: Some senior staff were fired.

Sounds like it wasn’t ALL of the senior staff and the ones who are gone were FIRED, they didn’t walk out.
Silly Washington Post.
Sure, it was far more dramatic to pretend senior level staff hated Trump so much they walked but nope.
A purge of senior staff over at @StateDept is underway. https://t.co/DFyyFkpmEe

Purge. That’s NOT people quitting y’all.

They were fired, it didn't just happen, and it wasn't the "entire" staff. Other than that… https://t.co/E4tAk9eiEV
