President Donald Trump is blasting the former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, who has endorsed Joe Biden for president.

Trump’s comments came after Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff from 2017-2019, issued a video blistering Trump.

"Given what I experienced in the administration, I have to support Joe Biden for president," Taylor had said in the video. "Even though I'm not a Democrat, even though I disagree on key issues, I'm confident that Joe Biden will protect the country, and I'm confident he won't make the same mistakes as this president."

Trump, in a Tuesday morning tweet, called Taylor a “former disgruntled employee.”

The president wrote: “Many thousands of people work for our government. With that said, a former DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE named Miles Taylor, who I do not know (never heard of him), said he left & is on the open arms Fake News circuit. Said to be a real 'stiff'. They will take anyone against us!”
