Yes America, there are federal bureaucrats paid by your tax dollars who are openly thwarting President Donald Trump's agenda. The proof is captured in both video footage and an explosive new survey that confirms Democrat-leaning government executives believe they are part of "The Resistance."

The Napolitan Institute survey conducted by pollster Scott Rasmusen and released last week found that just 16% of government managers who voted for Kamala Harris last November would follow a legal order from Trump if they disagreed with it. 

And 76% of federal government managers who voted for Harris declared they will resist the Trump administration.

The findings were so stark that the Napolitan Institute's Rasmussen concluded  “the Administrative State is not composed of thoughtful, nonpartisan experts who are making neutral decisions for voters.”

“The deep partisan divide within the federal bureaucracy and the shifting public opinion present significant challenges for the current administration,” Rasmussen said.

The undercover investigative reporting outlet Project Veritas has released a series of videos showing what the resistance looks and sounds like in federal workers' own words.

On April 1, Project Veritas posted videos of employees from both NASA and the State Department who openly admitted on undercover videos to defying Trump’s orders on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

Trump, who signed a series of executive orders targeting DEI programs within government, has repeatedly criticized such programs, asserting that they remove merit from the equation, which reduces the quality of workforce and product. 

In one Project Veritas video, State Department foreign service officer Anthony Abate was quoted as saying, “they like canceled DEI stuff, but people just like did it and called it something else,” opting for terms like "multicultural activities" and “team building.”

Renato Braghiere, a climate research scientist at California’s NASA JPL laboratory, told the undercover Veritas journalist, “now we have to be careful with writing proposals with terms like ‘climate change’ or whatever.”

When asked why, Braghiere said, “Well, because they don’t like that term. They don’t believe that, and they’re probably not going to fund any of that. We can change the term ‘climate change’ by ‘natural hazards’ or something like that.”  

In a separate undercover investigation released by Project Veritas in February, a branch chief at the Department of Education named Travis Combs tells the interviewer that his division doesn't ask about citizenship status for enrollment.

"We've been able to keep that out of our federal statute." He told the interviewer that "if they actually knew, if congress actually knew that we don't ask that (citizenship status), there would be a lot of uproar." His concern was that his division "would be positioned as like being a sanctuary program." 

James O'Keefe, who founded Project Veritas but has since left and now serves as CEO of O'Keefe Media, released videos showing similar sentiments within the Department of Defense (DOD).

Nicholas Turman, a branch chief with DOD, was featured in a video released Thursday and is quoted as saying: "The same guy (Trump) who tried to overthrow an election is just like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship." 

"He's illegitimate. He's terribly immoral, breaking every norm. We're going to resist him. Everything he does." 

Trump’s first term was plagued by personnel issues, both appointed and unappointed officials who worked to block or hinder policy supported by the administration.

A large focus of staffing his second term has been on hiring and appointing candidates who have supported his agenda, not on making concessions to establishment Republicans.
