Washington (CNN)The top State Department diplomatic security official in Afghanistan was removed from his role for declaring the "death of America" and making racist comments about Kamala Harris in a post on his Facebook page when President Donald Trump lost November's presidential election, according to four sources familiar with the matter.

"Sad day in American history. A fraudulent election that ushered in a senile idiot and a woman that claims to be black, but she's not," Nick Sabruno wrote in a post reviewed by CNN. "Your (sic) witnessing the death of America as we know it and just standby as all our freedoms are eroded."

After he learned about the post, the acting US ambassador in Afghanistan, Ross Wilson, declared that he had lost confidence in Sabruno and he was sent back to Washington, according to the sources familiar with the matter.

He still works at the State Department but is not currently assigned to a specific role or office, three sources familiar with the matter said.

1. Fire him!

[JohnSJ]

9. Exactly. He has no business in the government

[lark]

19. I agree, verify the statement cmae from him and fire him.

Take out the reich wing trash.

[rockfordfile]

23. I agree

[NurseJackie]

26. Here's his photo... he don't look rite to me.

It's about what I'd have expected. They all have a certain "look" about them that says "I'm crazy" or "I can't think for myself" or "My momma dropped me on my head too many times" or "I think my daddy might also be my brother".

[ShazzieB]

30. And that thing he's holding is

some kind of "Government Achievement" award?

[NurseJackie]

33. I'm guessing it's a "Participation" trophy or "You Attended the Seminar" award...

... just one step up from a souvenir certificate.

[brush]

38. Another anti-democracy a-hole who slipped through the cracks...

and got into the diplomatic corp—or maybe not if he was a trump admin appointed. If that was the case, he's just the type they wanted as he's also seems to be a racist.

[marble falls]

44. Looks like he's wearing his dad's suit, shirt and tie. Seems ... ah ... um ... well-nourished.

[magicarpet]

2. Send Sabruno up to Alaska as special envoy to the polar bears.

The Fascist pig.

[KS Toronado]

18. Do polar bears eat pigs?

Asking for a friend in the state department.

[Pepsidog]

25. Antarctic I hear needs people.

[ShazzieB]

31. Although they usually eat seals,

I imagine they wouldn't say no to a nice, juicy pig.

[Biophilic]

3. So how did that kind of an idiot get that important and sensitive a job?

How do these people not understand the rules that govern their lives? How do they not get what first amendment rights really cover? Actions have consequences. Did he really think his Facebook statement was a good thing for a government agent to do? It's like someone or something sucks the intelligence out of these people and then sends them out to screw things up.

[jpak]

4. Lock him up

[UpInArms]

5. The rot runs deep

I fear for my country

[Glorfindel]

6. If they won't fire the bastard...

there's a US consulate in Punta Arenas, Chile. He might enjoy the climate thee.

[Ligyron]

22. His job there should be to sit in a corner and write, "I will not be so racially insensitive".

...like, 5 million times until he quits.

[marble falls]

7. "but is not currently assigned to a specific role or office", but is he being paid?

[brush]

39. I'd move his desk to the basement and take his red stapler.

[marble falls]

41. I'd be afraid he end up with the fat check at the end of the story.

[brush]

46. Office Space?

[marble falls]

47. Yeah,

Got the check in the end.

[jaxexpat]

8. How about assigning him to the role of.....

"poster child for what is not acceptable here" in the office of "we'll track every last one of you broken children down and remove you from positions requiring adults"?

I commend all the good actors who continue eliminating fools such as this from ANY position of responsibility in our government. THEY are doing god's work and she appreciates it.

[Captain Zero]

11. Make him wash windows at the State Department.

If he is still getting paid he can perform 'duties as assigned'. ON THE NIGHT SHIFT.

[jaxexpat]

15. And his immediate supervisor to be a manic Marx quoting Bolshevik wanna be ex-crack head.

And his retirement pension be on the line. This is a sit-com plot that writes itself.

[marble falls]

43. The supervisor will cite a mysterious political insider, who will be referred to as "U" ...

... followers will be referred to as "U-nits.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. "all our freedoms" is code

for 2A enthusiasts. I see this type of post again and again. They are obsesses and not very bright, as they have only one or two thoughts and keep repeating the same mantra.

[Mr.Bill]

36. First they came for our Mr. Potato Heads.

[Mr. Evil]

12. To him, "the eroding of all our freedoms" means

the inability to openly practice racism, bigotry, Fascism, Nazism, discrimination, corruption and sadism.

[pimpbot]

13. looks like a real winner

He even got a major award! (said in the Christmas story voice)

[niyad]

14. Why is this fascist thug still sucking at the public teat?

Apart from the fact that he is a disgusting piece of work, he is also grammaticcaly challenged (as is whoever corrected only one of his errors). It is person "who", not person "that", the "your" rather than "you're" and "stand by" rather than "standby".

[Paladin]

16. Next stop for Sabruno: Mar-A-Lago.

Remember, Nick: Your new job description is to suck, not "blow." "Blow" is just a slang term.

[IronLionZion]

17. Assign him to North Korea, Somalia, Antarctica

as if Afghanistan wasn't enough. What a weirdo.

[Grimelle]

20. They are everywhere

To me that's scary.

[left-of-center2012]

21. "He still works at the State Department"

[onecaliberal]

24. He needs to be fired. We don't need fascist working in our government.

[movingviolation]

27. Send him to China to personally test anal covid test swabs..

[RobertDevereaux]

28. FIRE this motherfucker now!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

29. Give him back his old job as Trump's "Groom of the stool"

[VladmireTrumpkins]

32. I will say it again.

What the F does Trump do to engender such loyalty? Why in hell do they worship him and think this liar, con artist, failed businessman, and sexual predator is the Savior of America and Democrats are such devils? How can people be so damn stupid!!??

[BobTheSubgenius]

34. I think he should have gotten a way to commemorate America's death.

A long, unescorted hike across a remote province of Afghanistan would have worked. At least for me.

[PatrickforB]

35. This piece of crap needs to be FIRED.

Failing that, let's station him in the Aleutian Islands or Antarctica.

[pecosbob]

37. Aren't most State Dept security personnel hired mercenaries these days?

While he was in Afghanistan, Sabruno was in charge of overseeing the security of one of the US' most dangerous diplomatic missions.

The hiring of PMCs really must end...

[raccoon]

40. Maybe he's a Dotard. Should be fired immediately. Nt

[Yeehah]

42. A "senior diplomatic security official" who doesn't know fourth grade grammar?

Great hiring standards you have there, State Department.

[onenote]

45. He'll be fired, but it will take time.

Most federal employees enjoy a level of job protection not available to the typical non-government worker. In particular, in the case of "misconduct," the employee still must be given 30 days notice before he/she can be terminated. And where the termination is performance-related, there may be an additional due process-related delay before termination. What constitutes "misconduct" can be hazy at times -- criminal behavior clearly meets the test, but his actions here don't appear to be criminal, so it's arguable that he's entitled to the pre-termination due process given to employees being fired for performance related reasons.
