Principled resignation

Some countries have a tradition of principled resignation by government officials who can’t stomach their government’s policies.  The U.S., evidently, is not one of them.

On stage with Trump at his “infrastructure press conference” were, if I am not mistaken, two Jews, an Asian-American woman, and a general.  When the President started his defense of anti-Semitic neo-nazis, you don’t stand there with your head down.  You turn around, stomp off the stage, and go back to your office to write up your resignation.  


We’re not talking about a Wal-Mart shelf stocker who absolutely needs the job.  We’re looking at people who can mutter “I’m not listening to any more of this crap” and walk away.  What happened to honor?  To integrity?  To courage?
