AdvertisementIn the email, Ned Price ― then a senior adviser to Secretary of State Antony Blinken ― described a discussion between State Department leaders and agency officials. He began the email by sharing his view of whether those “workforce discussions” were adequately addressing State Department officials’ concerns. Since then, four other State Department officials have publicly resigned because of their opposition to the U.S. role, as have several staff at other agencies and military personnel. The State Department has said Blinken welcomes different points of view. Biden’s obstinacy has limited internal pushback since, and some State Department officials skeptical of his approach have told HuffPost they felt the criticism was never taken seriously.
