Now-former IRS employee Robert McCabe, tells NBC10 Philadelphia that he did not think there would be any actual consequences for his actions until approximately 9:00 AM EST on Thursday, when he went into work and was unable to log in on his computer. It wasn’t until 11:30 AM that he found out he was one of the tens of thousands now without a job in the name of “efficiency.”
“McCabe said he had been a supporter of President Trump prior to the layoff,” NBC10 writes.
“You know when he talks about government waste and all that, yes, I’m behind it. I believe there is a lot of stuff in the government that needs fixing. And that’s part of the reason why I actually wanted to work for the government, actually. To help change. Help change the things that are wrong in the world, you know? I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason,” McCabe told the station as he worked his way through the bargaining stage.
