Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) slammed the criticism of the overhaul of thousands of federal employees, saying some of the critiques are “ridiculous.”
Jordan joined “Fox News Sunday” to discuss the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the slashing of various federal jobs.
On air, Jordan noted a recent story run by The Washington Post that said after cutting staff, a national park in California let go of the only locksmith that could get stuck people out of the restroom.
“Now, if that isn’t … I mean, that’s the best you can do? The real question is, how do visitors get locked in restrooms?” Jordan questioned. “I mean, this is how ridiculous some of this thing is.”
Jordan admitted that there may have been mistakes made as part of DOGE’s quick actions restructuring the federal government, but he understands there is real urgency with the Trump administration to cut back on “wasteful spending.”
“The one guy who can unlock people who somehow get locked in a restroom at a national park?” he reiterated. “This is ridiculous.”
