The Biden White House is now working to undo Trump\u2019s work, fearing that those Trump supporters may interfere with Biden\u2019s agenda, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/politics-news\/trump-railed-against-deep-state-he-also-built-his-own-n1258385\">NBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The practice of outgoing presidents installing a number of their supporters into more permanent posts in the federal government, called \u201cburrowing,\u201d is not new or uncommon. Experts approached by NBC News said that Trump\u2019s burrowed officials are different in number and temperament than previous administrations, calling those Trump supporters \u201cdangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats, Trump critics, and others have attempted to use the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol to taint Trump supporters as a whole. The effort to demonize Trump supporters within the federal government began long before, however. Days after the November election, Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ocasio-cortez-evan-mcmullin-lets-make-a-list-of-trump-supporters-firestorm-erupts\">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> (D-NY) called for making a database of Trump administration officials in case they try to \u201cdownplay\u201d their ties to the former president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Nov. 6.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration is now reportedly pursuing Trump supporters within the federal government, and outside experts are encouraging the attempted purge by suggesting Trump loyalists within the federal government are a \u201cthreat to democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder the guise of stopping a \u2018deep state\u2019 coup that never existed, Trump appears to have tried to create a deep state of his own,\u201d newyorker.com Executive Editor David Rohde, author of \u201cIn Deep: The FBI, the CIA, and the Truth about America\u2019s \u2018Deep State\u2019\u201d told NBC News. Rhode added that Trump\u2019s \u201cburrowing\u201d represented \u201can existential threat to democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Project on Government Oversight public policy director Liz Hempowicz added: \u201cNot to be hyperbolic, but the damage some of these people could do is enormous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Biden White House official acknowledged the administration is conducting a review of Trump appointments to federal boards and committees but did not mention a wider review of Trump supporters in the federal bureaucracy.<\/p>\n<p>The administration \u201cis conducting a thorough review of several councils, commissions, and advisory boards,\u201d a White House official told NBC. \u201cAs part of that review, we may remove individuals whose continued membership on the board would not serve the public interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Efforts to oust Trump appointees from federal committees and boards were reported in January.
