I am surprised that "leftists" felt that the speech was too devisive.

What I actually interpreted his remark to be was that Trumper's, MAGAs,
and groups such as the proud boys, oath keepers were a threat to
democracy.  I.e. a cancer (my words, not his) on our form of government.

That was not true where I worked.  Their might have been one or two
political appointees at the very top, but for the most part the
workforce was technical and doing the job that needed to be done.
