Donald Trump’s recent round of federal employee cuts could make Americans less safe, Rep. Eric Swalwell said on CNN Friday. “When you get rid of the bird flu monitors who protect us against the chickens against bird flu and then keep the cost of aid down, that does not make us economically safe,” he explained.
“When you get rid of people at the FAA as planes are crashing in America, that makes us less safe,” Swalwell continued. “When you get rid of FBI agents who are supposed to watch out for terrorism, that makes us less safe. When you get rid of people at the CDC who are supposed to protect us from a measles outbreak in Texas, that makes us less safe.”
