Trump Supporter Who Cheered Firing Of National Security Staffers Pleads For Help After Wife Has VA Job Rescinded Due To Hiring Freeze
John Basham of Texas pleaded with Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz to intervene in what he believes is an 'unintended consequence' of the executive order.

A Donald Trump supporter from Texas, who appeared to relish in national security staffers "sent packing" by the president, ended up pleading with GOP Sen. Ted Cruz to help his wife after she got caught up in a federal hiring freeze that Trump imposed after being sworn in on Monday.
John Basham, a former city council member in Reno, Texas, went on his X account on Tuesday to implore Trump, Cruz and his 93,000 followers to contact the White House to "fix this error."
In the posting, Basham said his wife was recently hired as a nurse by Veterans Affairs and they prepared to move their family from Fort Worth to Waco. But then Trump signed the executive order implementing the temporary hiring freeze with a few exclusions for military and immigration enforcement.
"Following Trump's Hiring Freeze EO, VA Rescinded Her Job Offer! My Wife Is In Tears & Inconsolable & My Family Is Devastated!," Basham wrote.
"It Has Been My Wife's Dream To Work With Needy Disabled Veterans," he added.
He said he believes what happened to his wife was an "unintended consequence," and that medical professionals at the VA were "NOT The Target Of This EO!"
In another posting, he blamed "bureaucrats" for his wife's plight.
So Trump is responsible for this man's wife not getting her job after she accepted the offer and they sold their house, and he blames other people instead.
Cultists might wake up some day.
