A hidden-camera sting has exposed a senior White House budget official openly disparaging President Trump and calling for his removal, a development that forced the administration to put the staffer on administrative leave pending an inquiry. The footage, which quickly circulated Tuesday, shows internal resentment that should alarm any patriotic American worried about loyalty inside the executive branch.
The staffer, identified in reporting as Benjamin Ellisten, is heard describing the president as dangerous and invincible and urging that “we gotta get rid of him,” remarks that cross the line from private dissent into active disloyalty. Those are not merely colorful complaints — they are the words of someone entrusted with sensitive budget and policy responsibilities who admits contempt for the commander in chief.
James O’Keefe’s team released the footage as part of a series the group calls the White House Tapes, and the recordings also capture another aide admitting that decision-making inside the administration can be chaotic and ad hoc. That admission, from someone on the Domestic Policy team, confirms what many of us have feared: elements inside the bureaucracy are running their own show while pretending fealty to the voters who put this president in office.
The White House response was immediate — the official was placed on leave, and the administration stressed he had no direct access to the president or senior staff while the review proceeds. That action was the right first step, but it must be followed by a full accounting of how and why a taxpayer-funded official thought he could conspire against the president while on the public payroll.
Americans should not be surprised by one rogue official, but they should be furious that a culture of anti-MAGA sentiment has been allowed to fester inside critical agencies. This is exactly the kind of “deep state” rot conservatives warned about: unelected bureaucrats whose loyalty is to a political class, not to the Constitution or to the people who elected our leaders.
Patriots must demand sweeping vetting, immediate accountability, and institutional reforms so that future administrations cannot be undermined from within. The people who serve at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue work for the American people; if they betray that oath, there must be swift consequences and a renewed commitment to loyal, competent public service.
