Very clear what he’s doing. Toadies in DOD, Def Sec’y just gave himself control of nukes. Shithead orange will bomb Iran. Declare Martial Law, suspend the election because “Election isn’t certified. Too many pending recounts (WI), uncertified ballots (MI), lawsuits(NV).” EmilyGSA

Who the hell fire someone on social media—is that even legal? realDonaldTrump a such a coward he can’t even face these people of integrity that he’s firing face to face—give it up POTUS the American people have already FIRED YOU!

Trump, actively damaging national security once again

He should have been on top of this election but wasn’t. Now we find out that a foreign election software company with Venezuelan roots counted most of the US votes in Europe. Investigate Krebs.

Trump has the right to fire whoever he wants! To bad he couldn’t fire ABC!!! Your news network sucks!

Of course.

Thank you for your truth telling and standing up to the bully Now relax

Vindictive president supported by a cultist party

Dictator in A Democracy! Still 48% of voters believe in him in spite of big lies. Being outsider, I feel something amiss with the Democrats. Trump is on a mission. Either Make or Break

Wyatt Donnelly and Gary Wallace to be named new Trump cyber security heads.

Poor guy. Just doing a great job against lies!

TrumpWorstPresidentEver

Projection is the telltale indicator of a criminal mind. He accuses others of tampering w/results while he and his loyalists/minions desperately plot to make him a winner. They are all going down. gop WhiteHouse

Claims are not rebuked; people are rebuked. Claims are rebutted or refuted.

Can he considered a whistleblower?

For the last 4 years all we heard is that the last election was lost to fraud and that voting machines were susceptible to fraud, but then Democrats supposedly win and they all clear is given? I predicted this 3 years ago.

What's all this about then?

We need to trust that the ppl in our federal, state and local offices r there to protect our constitution. Mr. Krebs and Mr. Raffensperger r 2 examples of ppl doing their job for all of us.

WHYYYYY was he fired? January 20th can’t come soon enough, sick and tired of ALL the criminals that hijacked OUR WH!!!😡

Surprised it took so long for that to happen. Another sad day!

Hopefully Biden will pick him up. PLEASE

C_C_Krebs doing his job and speaking truth is what patriotism, loyalty to THE PEOPLE, and honor look like, GOP. You clearly need a lesson. TraitorTrump TraitorInChief

FauciNext

Joe Biden needs to hire him back on January 20, 2021

wildweatherdan This is very mature of T. My way or the highway.

Scary to consider where he would be if he worked under Putin, Jong Un, or Jinping

Krebs hadn’t been showing up to work for months & refused to attend election security meetings.

Another Biden/Clinton/Soros flunky gone...good riddance to bad rubbish.

Christopher Krebs didn’t rebuke Trump’s claims. He debunked lies and disinformation being spread by Trump. Stop normalizing Trump’s attempts to destabilize our democracy.

What kind of coward fires people over Twitter? And how can that be legal? Firing someone for political gain?

wsbtv

According the article Third Georgia County Finds Memory Card With Uncounted Votes, Most for Trump, A third county in Georgia discovered a memory card with uncounted votes most of which were cast for President Donald Trump, according to Georgia GOP Chairman David Shafer.

🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️

Chris Krebs is a hero! 😊

Do you know from afar this looks like the actions of a dictator?

taxbod I’m fairly certain he didn’t rebuke any claims!

What better evidence can you have: realDonaldTrump can not stand the truth! Impeach now!! Get that turt removed from office for he is highly dangerous to democracy, the US and the world.

This proves that it doesn’t matter if you tell the truth. All that matters is that you agree with Trump even if he lies. Disgusting.

There r Patriots who speak truth to power knowing that by telling the truth as Christopher Krebs did regarding the 2020 election disputing the election fraud fabricated by realDonaldTrump that it could cost him his job. Patriots put country ahead of party! We r Proud of Krebs !

Good...DS people out if it to be finish with a flurry...if its so!

Stupid old Donald .. This man is a expert in cybersecurety and a legend he firing him... He can make every election bullet proof. We can still hope Joe Biden bring him back.

He’s part of the swamp.

Correction: Trump didn’t announce the firing on Twitter, he fired him on Twitter. (Note: he is too afraid to ever fire anyone in person, so he has others do it or he does it on Twitter.)

Whatever, ABC fake news liberal narrative and the election fraud! Every FAKE vote counts! What about reports about China Joe and his drug addict son!!!

Many employers are like that

He should ask for a recount and just keep working at homeland security.

Christopher Krebs looks like what I think Tucker Carlson looks like.

Why would you keep a fox in a hen's pen? So what, he got fired, clearly he's not on the same page as his boss.

This guy is part of the cover up.

Don’t worry you’ll get your job back January 21 WearAMask 😷💯

trump voters ,how you feeling now.

Christopher Krebs is a true American hero.. someone tRump would never be.

CecilyTynan Shocker!!

Pathetic‼️When is the last time our president has addressed any of the key issues affecting our citizens at this moment❓Show me a tweet about helping Covid victims, solving the employment crisis, empathizing with the first responders handling fires and storms, racial equality.

Jay876K lmaooo .. man really firing ppl left and right

Byeeeeeeeee

Fired for having integrity.

Thanks Chris, we needed you and you really came thru for us😁

Now that he's free the FIRST thing he should do is sit down with President Biden.

Being fired by trump is a badge of honor. He will join excellent company.

Liberate the White House

Being fired by Trump is a badge of honour because it means you must be of good character.

Oh! Part of the network. It will be mind-boggling to learn who all is in it.

So here’s a lesson for Emily Murphy the USGCA where she can be a hero n lauded for her patriotic endeavour or go down as a tRump schmuck whose oath of office meant squat. Your choice Emily just the world watching!

FBI -I pray for you and Our Country. Whistleblowers like myself threatened and silenced, people performing their job with honor. When does it End. I can tell you the course and direction must change or It Won’t End Well. Criminal Activity shouldn’t be Accepted and Encouraged

Christopher Krebs should never have been for being honest and doing his job!!!

He thinks he’s still starring on The Apprentice. But in reality, he’s endangering all Americans

'Widespread' voter fraud? How many cases of voter fraud does it take for the far-far-far left, fringe, whack-job, leftist PROPAGANDISTS at ABC to consider such voter fraud 'widespread'? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bravo Chris Krebs!!!

OpenOutcrier Just wait until cyber crackers take Netflix offline and steal everyone’s logins via malware, maybe then the citizens will have some kind of wandering march for justice, idk?

Is the Georgia runoff more vulnerable because of Trump’s actions Because THAT is as much election tampering as anything!

Thank you for your service! You are to be congratulated for your honesty and integrity ! You will go down in history as a hero❤️❤️

that's what Trump does he fires people who tell the truth .

TRUMP MUST BE THOROUGHLY & COMPLETELY INVESTIGATED!!! TRUMP MUST BE PROSECUTED AS A CORRUPT, CROOKED, CRIMINAL-MINDED, WILLFULLY NEGLIGENT PRESIDENT. TRUMP MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!!

Grit.

Donald Trump is attempting a Coup and the Republican party is helping him. Wake-up people! Krebs MadKingDonald

Krebs is telling a lie to the fraud votes under getting a big money from DS. So, Krebs deserved to be fired as capital crimes by Trump !

Trump cannot handle the truth. Can't wait until the U.S. armed forces drag him out of the White House.

Maybe Joe will reinstate him since he has honor to speak truth to power !

Truth tellers beware.

🤦🏻‍♂️

So if 11 days are a Scaramucci, are 5 days a Krebs Cycle?

Little toddler throwing another tantrum again

Anyone supporting trump at this time need to renounce their citizenship and move to a country where autocracy is favored.

Trump will not be happy until he leaves our country in shambles. He’s doing it now. Are we in a dictatorship? Isn’t there anything that can be done to stop this maniac? He is endangering the US and its citzens while we stand around in horror and fear. He’s dangerous

He deserves it!!!!!!!!!

He is not fired for the reason the headline insinuates.

Krebs has integrity.

You're fired! He needed to go a long time ago. Bu bye

cindyeharnett Who the president there these days?

Is this or is this not a Dictatorial behavior ...? Are Republicans so fanatics that don´t realize what is going on?

Anybody else just feel like breaking down weeping at this horror show. Not just a bad dream. Not just a nightmare. Not just a night terror. This is a full blown assult on this country, and its becoming even more devastating by the hour. The US is under attack by its own people!

Good.

38 million US votes effected by Dominion software, also used by socialist Venezuela. voterfraud electionfraud medialies 2020election

Of course because he went against Trump ..not surprised Trump we are about over ur temper tantrum and fake l lawsuits that keep getting rejected over and over time America moves on and just forgets about you

Have you landed the interview?

OMG, realDonaldTrump is going to destroy the infrastructure of our national defense before his lame duck tirade is over if Republicans don't grow a pair and stop him before there are no more adults left in the room. 25thAmendmentNow RemoveTrumpNow SaveOurNation

He was dirty that’s why

😢

Horrible incidents everywhere by the INDIVIDUAL one...power by force!

wsbtv

25th 45 before he destroys the country!

I don't want to hear a word from JoeBiden and Transition46, as well as surrounding pundits, about 'moving on' and not prosecuting Trump, 'for the good of the country'. If Trump gets away, it will be YOU the ones who put the final nails in the casket of democracy.

Treasonous behavior, how can anyone not see this man is unhinges and is a danger to society. Time to remove him now before something terrible happens.

Christopher Krebs should not yield to an insane president! No one should! 25 Trump today!

Good.

President-elect Joe Biden's campaign spokesman responds to firing of DHS cybersecurity head Christopher Krebs, saying Krebs should be 'commended for his service in protecting our elections, not fired for telling the truth.'

We should declare January 20th a national holiday!!! 3 days of celebrations after we have removed trump from the White House

CecilyTynan I am so afraid of the damage this idiot can and will do between now and January 20th. Intervention is needed ASAP.

GOP SenateGOP SenateDems VP who will lead us to democracy?! This is a travesty, Trump is crazy. You once loved your country, help save it now.

OpenOutcrier Who's going to fire Trump

Trump is the Joker. AMERICA is Gotham. Where is our Batman?

Run Forrest, Run!

The wrath of the narcissist 🤦🏻‍♀️

VP time to stand up and stop this..he’s not well

Maybe he deserves a spot in the new administration? Honesty under pressure is too rare.

senatemajldr you need to protect our democracy...he’s not well

By December 15th all heads of departments at atrump can use to make false claims will have new heads, Trump heads to validate his claims

He does it by Twitter because he's a coward and can't do it to their faces.

Time to InvokeThe25thAmendment

**shocked** Not so much.

Of course he was. realDonaldTrump whineylittlebitch

POTUS, now Toni Fauci.

Y’all still don’t want to call this a dictatorship? Ignoring truths, firing those who don’t push your narrative or viewpoint. How tf does any president have this much power? Why do we allow this?

OpenOutcrier That’s why he want to get the troops back from Iraq away from harm way , pentagon didn’t agree , so he fired everybody, he is out of control ,

A badge of honor, Mr Krebs. Wear it proudly. Trump’s firing you will enhance your career like nothing else.. 👍🇺🇸

OpenOutcrier He will start new war against Iran soon to make a big mess for Biden to fix

Awesome! Now do Jared and Ivanka as well as Christopher Wray, Mr. POTUS

OpenOutcrier He is getting crazier and lost control

Maybe Biden will hire him back oh and F Trump

chriskrebs is a true American patriot. BidenHarris2020 should hire him. That would really set PutinsPuppet off!

As mayor of NY ..Rudy Guiliani’s policies HARRASSED /TERRORIZED ppl of color. Fk that “America’s mayor” BULLSH! He got credit for 9 eleven ..only after the WORLD stepped up & helped NYC recover. Rudy G has ALWAYS been a piece of SH! He has NOT changed and needs PRISON time!

The Trump reward for Stopping Putin's interference. The Trump reward for Telling the Truth. The Trump reward for putting our Country First. Your Fired.

That’s sad that this man work hard to keep us safe from cyber Bullying and does his job and get fire about tweet by the biggest bully in the world Mr. Donald J Trump .

Poor guy went to the dark side.

Probably badge of honour at this stage.

Just apply for the job in two months and you might get it back 🤷🏾‍♂️ TrumpMeltdown

Book him on every news station and ignore trumps stupidity.

This guy is an American Hero

Get the word out. Trump is unfit and continues to destroy America. I hope Krebs fights this in court for wrongful termination.

Anyone who ratted on me would be out the door with his arse on fire.Prick.

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

It would seem that a president would have been proud of Krebs for doing a great job with protecting cybersecurity and I guess Trump is not proud.

Of course he has....wouldn’t expect anything less from POS in Chief.

Don’t be mistaken people, this is sedition and a coup, nothing less, decide what side you will be on.

Jesus. I take 2 hours off from the news....

He should book ads on his massive forehead.

So unexpected.

Glad he fired him. Anyone denying fraud is clearly a crooked democrat operative.

Time to put his ass in jail. I hope the DA of New York lock his dirty ass up

That sounds right to me he should’ve kept his big mouth shut. He has no possible idea whether there was voter fraud or not.

Bat crazy president

Thank you Krebs for your honesty .. the American people thank you!

realDonaldTrump needs a lot more balls to say it not tweet it. Always takes the cowards way out. Still acting like a spoiled child.

Good Americans are continually being attacked by this sadist called trump. And he has his devil worshipers attacking ppl as well i wonder if a civil war wouldnt be good for removing these demons from America.

25thAmendmentBeforeWeAllDie

Trump just fired me😳 because i said I like the whopper over the big-mac and I don't work at the white house🙀

Deep state...Trump is doing God's work and will be President for life.
