After 16 days teetering between her duty to President Trump and the methodically unfolding reality that Joe Biden won the election, Emily Murphy declared the Democrat the apparent victor Monday in an unusually personal letter to him.Day after day, as her boss tried to subvert the election results with fraud claims and legal challenges, the embattled head of the General Services Administration held off on making what is usually a routine call after a presidential election.
Murphy, 46, who was appointed by Trump in 2017, wrote that she had received threats “online, by phone, and by mail directed at my safety, my family, my staff, and even my pets in an effort to coerce me into making this determination prematurely.” Eventually the tide shifted. In recent days, more and more Republicans have urged Trump publicly to accept his loss. And as Michigan certified its votes Monday following the president’s legal defeat in Pennsylvania, her decision became clear, friends said. She would close one chapter in the election’s messy aftermath with a two-page letter to the next president.
Yohannes Abraham, executive director of the Biden-Harris transition, in a statement called Murphy’s decision “a needed step to begin tackling the challenges facing our nation, including getting the pandemic under control and our economy back on track.” He said the transition team would begin work in the coming days to learn what’s going on at agencies across the government, hinting at the massive changes the Trump era has brought.
GSAEmily is just a partisan political hack who purposely delayed the transition process following 'orders' from her Master. She should be brought up on charges.
We think America’s democracy should not have to hinge on an Emily Murphy. We think the democratic processes and Constitution should be ingrained into our thinking that moving forward should be smoother. We can’t have another con artist in the WH and stalled transition.
Remove her
Murphy needs to be prosecuted.
This woman will do anything for her fifteen minutes of fame. Next, she's going back to the cave where Trump rescued her. Giuliani began his career with relative success, fighting the Mafia - he renewed it - and ends his career with his head in an oil barrel.
She is an attention seeker and needs to be ignored, not written about. Particularly now that the transition is underway. She deserves only to be forgotten forever.
How is she even allowed to have let it go this far?
In unusual move, Trump appointee actually does fucking job.
under pressure or under threat?
Karen’s gonna Karen
Weak and feckless. Hoped she would have been courageous but not a lot of courage on that side of aisle. All afraid of a pathetic chronic loser. So sad.
Why does it take 'pressure' to make you do your job?
R u kidding me with this headline? “Unusually personal”?! Give US a break!!!! U mean unusually DEFENSIVE, right?! U mean, unusually unprofessional to the bitter end, right?! GSAEmily is NOT a sympathetic victim! GSAEmilyMurphy is a partisan hack who delayed transition 3 weeks!
Haul her ass in. We need to hear from her still.
That letter was a whiny disgrace trying to justify her failure to serve her country.
The beginning of Biden46, the end of CrookedDonny.
O my gosh I thought it was norma for this minute, but shes too tiny
Pathetic
GSAEmily should be prosecuted for not doing the job she gets a salary from the American taxpayers. She also further jeopardized the lives of Americans from her actions ( or lack of ) regarding our current deadly pandemic!
That was a long 15 minutes of fame...
In three weeks you have now ruined any career and professionalism you’ve taken years to build. Was Trump ever really worth it to you, he’s already forgotten about you GSAEmily
Her letter was absurdly self-absorbed. And if you need anything don't call me, call my admin.
Of course. Self justification.
This needs an enquiry and investigation and if found guilty she needs to be punished and made examples out of! These positions are foundations of Democracy and they were questioned and shaken! So it’s bigger than it appears to be!
Look at that that triple
“Unusually personal” means that she made the whole thing about how she’s the victim here. We should feel sorry for her.
Make that UNPROFESSIONAL*
Under pressure? How about calling it “her job”?
so fat
Cultists are weird.
