Presidential Envoy for Special Missions Richard Grenell accused Voice of America’s Chief National Correspondent Steve Herman of acting in a “treasonous” way for posting a quote critical of the Trump administration while reporting on recent lawsuits being filed against the Trump administration following the shuttering of USAID over the weekend.
He quoted someone who said destroying USAID makes American less safe at home and abroad. He posted his article on twitter where Grenell saw it and replied.
“Aren’t you a taxpayer funded “reporter” for @voa?”
“Why are you working against President Trump’s reform plans for the U.S. budget? You weren’t elected. It isn’t too much to suggest this is treasonous. You don’t get to work against the official U.S. government policies while being paid by US taxpayers. You should be immediately fired,” added Grenell, who Trump also recently made the Kennedy Center’s interim executive director.
Pretty sure he's just doing his job, but the trumpers don't see it that way. You must be loyal or you must be in prison, or worse.

What else would it be?
