🚨 After sending a tweet saying President Trump was unfit for office & was to blame for the mob attack on the capitol, State Dept official Gabriel Noronha was fired today by the White House, per 2 sources. Noronha worked the Iran portfolio at State for the last few yrs.

President Trump fomented an insurrectionist mob that attacked the Capitol today. He continues to take every opportunity to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power. These actions threaten our democracy and our Republic. Trump is entirely unfit to remain in office, and needs to go.

Been gutted, so he felt safe. Maybe Biden can contact him and tell him not to take other employment quite yet! Strange... GOP wants to keep a traitor around for another two weeks, but they bring the axe down chop-chop on this man. Give Gabriel two weeks, too!
