Federal workers are pushing back on President Donald Trump’s claims about the state of the country and the mass firing spree under his watch, warning it will undermine communities and leave people across the country with diminished access to the services that they rely on.
At the news conference Wednesday, Paul Osadebe, a union steward with the American Federation of Government Employees Local 476, said that Trump’s lengthy State of the Union speech this week was but his latest attempt to “distract and to pit Americans against each other.”
