Deep State Turns Bureaucrat Into Folk Hero for Blocking DOGE

Liberty Check

• Wall Street Journal framed a federal employee blocking DOGE staff as heroic, celebrating resistance to government efficiency efforts.
• USIP security officer Colin O’Brien denied entry to Department of Government Efficiency personnel during a March 2025 visit.
• Media coverage continues to portray bureaucrats protecting waste and inefficiency as acts of courage.

The Wall Street Journal published an essay that painted a federal employee’s refusal to admit Department of Government Efficiency staff as a noble stand.

The piece recast routine obstruction as a heroic defense of an agency that has long operated with little accountability.

When DOGE officials arrived at the United States Institute for Peace building on a March 2025 afternoon, security officer Colin O’Brien refused them entry.

O’Brien reportedly confronted the visiting team and prevented access to the facility.
