State Dept. science envoy resigns with letter that spells out 'Impeach'

BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 08/23/17 12:09 PM EDT

The science envoy for the State Department has resigned following President Trump's response to the violent clashes at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va.

Daniel Kammen announced his resignation in a letter addressed to Trump — in which the first letter of every paragraph spelled out "Impeach."

"My decision to resign is in response to your attacks on core values of the United States," Kammen said in the letter.

"Your failure to condemn white supremacists and neo-Nazis has domestic and international ramifications."

Mr. President, I am resigning as Science Envoy. Your response to Charlottesville enables racism, sexism, & harms our country and planet.

I'm sure the Fuxxers will immediately start screaming that he is a left wing extremist. How many people have to resign until the government comes to grinding halt because there will be no employees left to work.
