““My superiors at the Department refused to defend me, stand up for the truth or allow me to answer the false charges against me.””

Man, she and Yovanovitch are just feeling the disregard for government staffers together…

What! No attacks on the fake news media for reporting on her?

She needs more grifting practice.

According to a resignation letter obtained by Monday afternoon, Mina Chang — who served as the deputy assistant secretary in the State Department’s Bureau of Conflict and Stability Operations — wrote that “resigning is the only acceptable moral and ethical option for me at this time.”

Chang went on to say:

“A character assassination based solely on innuendo was launched against me attacking my credentials and character,” she said. “My superiors at the Department refused to defend me, stand up for the truth or allow me to answer the false charges against me.”

Wow, these lying losers really can’t get over themselves. Hey Mina, good luck with your next grift girl.

So how exactly was the State Department supposed to defend her against her own bullsh*t on her own resume?

Honestly, with fake credentials like that, I’m surprised she wasn’t promoted to the new WH Press Secretary.

Mina Chang says, “resigning is the only acceptable moral and ethical option for me at this time.”

What now, is she going to go back to Trump-University-refund-classes in Moral & Ethical Acceptability?

Just thank you for this. Pure poetry

I can think of another official that had a fake Time magazine cover printed that I’d like to see resign…

Well since it was obviously written to be hugely misleading while still – if read really, really narrowly – tecnically accurate, I assume she demanded that State announce that it was all 100% correct and anyone who says otherwise is a Never Trumper. MAGA!

aka the Faux News Liaison, and it could still happen if grisham ever inadvertently lets the truth slip out and pisses off the abomination.

It’ll be great to follow her career to see where she ends up next.
Anyone wanna guess?
