You will remember Clement as the whistle blower at the Department of the Interior who was harassed for showing how climate change affects communities in Alaska. He was removed from his job by Fake Interior Secretory Zinke and given a new job removing staples from paperwork or something similar. Zinke similarly reassigned several others at around the same time. The inspector general has been investigating this but nothing has come of that yet.<\/p>\n
Clement hung on for a long time but today he left his position. According to the Washington Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cKeeping my voice is more important than keeping my job,\u201d he said. \u201cI have not found another job yet. I have vast contacts inside the agency and outside. I do believe I can be a strong voice to resisting what the Zinke team is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n Clement said workers at Interior are outraged by Zinke\u2019s comment in a speech slightly more than a week ago that they are disloyal. \u201cI got 30 percent of the crew that\u2019s not loyal to the flag,\u201d Zinke said, adding that policy-decision positions should be shipped from Washington to Western cities, such as Denver.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone is pissed here about his comments about loyalty. It\u2019s the buzz in the building. You hear snide remarks all day long at how ludicrous that was. They clearly have lost respect for the leadership of that organization,\u201d Clement said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You will remember Clement as the whistle blower at the Department of the Interior who was harassed for showing how climate change affects communities in Alaska.
