Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired a DOJ paralegal who was caught flipping the bird at National Guardsmen working in Washington, D.C.

The individual identified as Elizabeth Baxter was on her way to work at the DOJ's environmental division when she flipped off a National Guard member, and then bragged about it to a security guard in the building lobby.

Baxter told the guard that she had encountered the National Guard member at the Metro Center Metro Stop when she made the obscene gesture and loudly proclaimed, “F–k the National Guard."

Her bad behavior didn't stop there, as she was later observed on that same day by DOJ security cameras flipping off the National Guard and saying, “F–k you!”

The National Guard is working in Washington, D.C., at the behest of President Donald Trump to crush out-of-control crime. While D.C. residents love the crime crackdown, D.C.'s leftist bureaucrats seem to hate the renewed focus on law and order.

Disgraceful Behavior

Regardless of one's feelings about the situation in Washington, D.C., it's unacceptable for a public servant to be making obscene gestures to other public servants who are doing their jobs.

After an investigation into Baxter's actions, she was issued a termination letter that read, "You are removed from your position of Paralegal Specialist, GS-0950-11, Environmental Defense Section, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and from the federal service, effective immediately."

In comments made to The New York Post, Bondi explained that, "Today, I took action to terminate a DOJ employee for inappropriate conduct towards National Guard service members in DC."

She went on to warn other DOJ workers by saying, "This DOJ remains committed to defending President Trump’s agenda and fighting to make America safe again. If you oppose our mission and disrespect law enforcement — you will NO LONGER work at DOJ.”

This incident with Baxter comes after another DOJ paralegal, Sean Charles Dunn, was charged with throwing a Subway sandwich at federal law enforcement.

Interestingly, Baxter and Dunn worked in the same building and were both paralegals. Clearly, it's time for Bondi to review the hiring practices that have allowed for such a toxic and disrespectful culture to flourish.

Purging Federal Agencies

While Baxter and Dunn aren't important figures on their own, these stories illustrate how important Trump's mission to purge federal agencies of rabid leftists is.

These people feel so emboldened as to openly disrespect and attack National Guardsmen who are engaged in legal and legitimate operations. There are hundreds more individuals like Baxter hiding in Washington, D.C.'s swamp, and they must be purged.

For now, it's cathartic to see an obnoxious person like Baxter finally face consequences for her behavior. There is no reason to be making obscene gestures at total strangers.
