State Dept. Science Envoy Resigns in Letter with Not-So-Subtle ‘IMPEACH’ Message

University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel Kammen is publicly resigning as State Department science envoy, tweeting out the letter he sent to President Trump.

Kammen’s letter cites his Charlottesville response, writing, “My decision to resign is in response to your attacks on the core values of the United States.”

He’s also disturbed by a “broader pattern of behavior” on the President’s part “that enables sexism and racism, and disregards the welfare of all Americans, the global community and the planet.”

Mr. President, I am resigning as Science Envoy. Your response to Charlottesville enables racism, sexism, & harms our country and planet. pic.twitter.com/eWzDc5Yw6t

And just like the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, Kammen’s letter features a hidden message. If you look at the first letter of all seven paragraphs, it spells out one word:

IMPEACH.
