.MaddowBlog: Unwilling to serve under Pres. Trump, Foreign Service official resigns.
Staff turnover in the Trump administration has been extraordinary, but some staff departures are more notable than others. More to the point, it’s worth paying attention not just to who leaves their positions, but why and how they part ways with the administration.
He proceeded to serve tours abroad, working to spread “what I believed were American values: freedom, fairness and tolerance.” Ask to read the commission of any Foreign Service officer, and you’ll see that we are hired to serve “during the pleasure of the President of the United States.” That means we must serve this very partisan president.I’m ashamed of how long it took me to make this decision.
It’s a striking perspective in its own right, but reading Park’s op-ed, I was reminded of how increasingly common it’s become to hear from diplomatic officials like him who haven’t just resigned, but who’ve also taken care to explain their reasoning to the public.
