Summary
Jennifer Piggott, a self-proclaimed “MAGA junkie” from Parkersburg, West Virginia, regrets voting for Donald Trump after being fired from the Bureau of Fiscal Service during widespread cuts under DOGE.
Despite earning top performance reviews, she was among 125 civil service workers dismissed, sparking local outrage.
Piggott expressed disappointment, saying she expected Trump to protect working-class jobs.
A federal judge ordered reinstatement, but the Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court, leaving affected workers on paid leave.
Piggott has faced vandalism and threats after speaking out.
There once was a woman named Piggot
Who voted for a dumbass bigot
Then she lost her job
Along with poor Bob
And she thought she really would dig it.
Nice.
