Ex-Foreign Service officer rips Trump administration 'cruelty' after resignation
A former Foreign Service officer whose resignation took effect this week tore into President Trump on Friday evening, labeling his administration cruel and incompetent.
"What's different is kind of the naked unapologetic cruelty. That's the first thing. The second thing is, you know, the sheer managerial incompetence of this administration. The rollout of the Muslim ban, that executive order, was disastrous," Chuck Park said on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."
Park, who wrote a blistering op-ed this week about his time in the government under Trump, joined the Foreign Service in 2010 under former President Obama. He wrote this week that he could no longer be part of what he called the "Complacent State."
"The past three years have felt like the house is on fire," he said Friday. "And not only is it on fire, but there is a man purposely lighting more fires."
"There is a slow buildup, and maybe I'll call it moral distress, with each successive kind of tweet or action. I mean, it started with the Muslim ban, the executive order in January 2017. And then defending white nationalists after Charlottesville. It was family separation. It was revelations about squalid detention centers."
