Blinken questioned for State Department hosting in-house therapy sessions after Trump win

by November 24, 2024
November 24, 2024

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., took aim at Secretary of State Antony Blinken after it was reported that the State Department held therapy sessions for employees who were upset by President-elect Trump’s election victory.

‘I am concerned that the Department is catering to federal employees who are personally devastated by the normal functioning of American democracy through the provision of government-funded mental health counseling because Kamala Harris was not elected President of the United States,’ Issa said in a letter to Blinken last week.

The letter comes after a Free Beacon report earlier this month that detailed two alleged therapy sessions that were held at the State Department after Trump’s victory, with sources telling the outlet that one such instance amounted to an information ‘cry session.’

In another instance, an email went out to agency employees and touted a separate  ‘insightful webinar where we delve into effective stress management techniques to help you navigate these challenging times’ after Trump’s victory, according to the report.

‘Change is a constant in our lives, but it can often bring about stress and uncertainty,’ the email said. ‘Join us for an insightful webinar where we delve into effective stress management techniques to help you navigate these challenging times. This session will provide tips and practical strategies for managing stress and maintaining your well being.’

In his letter to Blinken, Issa argued that the reported sessions were ‘disturbing’ and that ‘nonpartisan government officials’ should not be suffering a ‘personal meltdown over the result of a free and fair election.’

While the Republican lawmaker acknowledged that the mental health of the agency’s employees was important, he questioned the use of taxpayer dollars to counsel those upset about the election, demanding answers on how many sessions have been conducted, how many more are planned, and how much the sessions are costing the department.

Issa also raised fears that the sessions could also call into question the willingness of some of the State Department’s employees to carry out Trump’s new vision for the agency.

‘The mere fact that the Department is hosting these sessions raises significant questions about the willingness of its personnel to implement the lawful policy priorities that the American people elected President Trump to pursue and implement,’ the letter said. ‘The Trump Administration has a mandate for wholesale change in the foreign policy arena, and if foreign service officers cannot follow through on the American people’s preferences, they should resign and seek a political appointment in the next Democrat administration.’

The State Department did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
