Congressman Defends DOGE After It Lays off Hundreds of His Constituents, Questions if Their Jobs Were ‘Necessary’

EXCERPT:

ZINKE: "Well, I've got a couple things. One is the concern was the seasonal workers coming up, fire season obviously is a concern. And in parks this summer season, they get a lot bigger. So, you look at the seasonal — those have been exempt. And the last hiring, and what do they get hired for? Four years ago, what the hiring looked like was thousands of people hired for old growth regulation. Looking at that, probably. So, I think it’s fair to look at it. They were last year’s, you know, probationary. But the bottom line is this. If the job is important, you’ll keep it. If the job is on the line, it’ll be looked at. And if the job isn’t necessary, it’ll be cut.”
