From Fox News: 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.
Days after Trump won the election, Issa called attention to the woke meltdown in the State Department – which is supposed to be non-partisan, by sharing a link to a report from the Washington Free Beacon.
“TRUMP WILL FIX THIS. The Biden-Harris State Department is melting down because @realDonaldTrump won the election. Did they go to pieces when our 13 service members were killed during Biden’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan?” Issa wrote.

Below is a copy of the letter Rep. Issa sent to State Dept. Secretary Antony Blinken, calling him out over the taxpayer-funded “therapy and listening sessions” for government employees after Trump’s 2024 election victory.
“It is disturbing that ostensibly nonpartisan government officials would suffer a personal meltdown over the results of a free and fair election, something the United States champions around the world. It is unacceptable that the Department accommodates this behavior and subsidizes it with taxpayer dollars,” Issa wrote to Blinkin.
