(Courtesy: Western Journal) – A former Department of Government Efficiency employee known as “Big Balls” is being hailed as a hero for stepping in to protect a woman in Washington, D.C., who was being attacked by thugs.
In May, it was revealed on Fox News that “Big Balls” was actually Edward Coristine, 19, a member of the DOGE team at the time.
Asked by Fox News host Jesse Watters how he got the name, Coristine explained that he used it as his LinkedIn account name.
“People on LinkedIn take themselves, like, super seriously, and they’re adverse to risk, and I was, like, well, I want to be neither of those things, so I just said it, and honestly, I didn’t even think anyone would notice,” he said.
In June, Coristine took a position working directly for the Social Security Administration, looking for waste, fraud, and abuse.
