Meaning he probably didn't know that federal workers were doing these things. Meaning he's incompetent.
But really
We're talking about a guy who said something indisputably, laughably, dangerously false on social media, and it was tagged as false and demoted. Low level people in the organization he was in charge of for asked for it to be flagged. And he had no idea these employees did that. But you think he's the victim?! No! Every step in the story is him doing something wrong!
He shouldn't have lied.
He should know what his employees are doing.
He should expect his employees to tell the truth. If it was a disputable statement, maybe true maybe false, he should expect his employees to take his side. But when it's indisputably false? No! He should expect his employees to correct him!
