Anderson Cooper on Trump Replacing Civil Servants: ‘The Damage Done Could Be for Generations’

EXCERPT:

COOPER: "We had a historian, Doris Kearns Goodwin, on last week, who talked about Andrew Jackson corrupting essentially government employees, giving out favors to people who curried favor with him. He gave them civil service jobs, and it took generations in America to to correct that, and it took Teddy Roosevelt being the civil service commissioner for six years to really root that out and get a civil service that served the American people and not whoever was in power. The damage being done, potentially, people think, oh, well, you know, maybe it‘s just going to be four years, the damage can be done. It can be for generations."
