Elizabeth Baxter arrived for work. She bragged to a security guard about how she gave the bird to National Guard soldiers. In addition to the hand gesture, Baxter told the guardsmen, “F* the National Guard”. Unfortunately for Baxter, her actions were recorded. This recording made it easy for Attorney General Pam Bondi to terminate Baxter’s employment with the U.S. Department of Justice. Bondi made it clear that if an individual working for the DOJ opposes the Trump administration’s mission and disrespects law enforcement, that individual will no longer be working for the DOJ.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Baxter of the department’s environmental division arrived for work just after 8:20 a.m. on Aug. 18 at the DOJ’s “4CON” building in the NoMa district, where she bragged to a security guard that she had just made the gesture at Metro Center Metro Stop and told the guardsman, “F–k the National Guard,” Bondi said, according to the New York Post.<\/p>\n

“Today, I took action to terminate a DOJ employee for inappropriate conduct towards National Guard service members in DC,” Bondi told the outlet.<\/p>\n

“This DOJ remains committed to defending President Trump’s agenda and fighting to make America safe again,” she continued. “If you oppose our mission and disrespect law enforcement — you will NO LONGER work at DOJ.”<\/p>\n

Later that day, Baxter was seen on DOJ security footage sticking up her middle finger at the National Guard and exclaiming, “F–k you!” the outlet reported. She was also allegedly seen demonstrating to a department security guard how she held up her middle finger.<\/p>\n

On Aug. 25, she allegedly arrived at work and again boasted to the security guard that she hated the National Guard and that she told them to “F–k off!”<\/p>\n

“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,” Bondi wrote in a termination letter to Baxter on Friday following an investigation into her conduct, according to the outlet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
