(The Center Square) – A group of Virginia Democrats are lashing out at President Donald Trump for his executive orders targeting federal workers.
Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner released a joint statement, saying Trump is attacking the federal workforce by weakening protections that shield them from “politically-motivated mass firings” and “imposing an across-the-board” hiring freeze.
The pair accused the president of putting his interests before the American people; however, the senators didn’t specify which of the handful of executive orders the president issued addressing the federal workforce were in conflict.
