2020-09-17 | Pence dismisses ex-aide voting for Biden as 'disgruntled employee' | TheHill
'Pence, who leads the White House coronavirus task force, was asked about the developments during a meeting on nursing home safety. '
'Other White House officials pushed back on her criticisms Thursday. '
'Polls show a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of the virus, and Biden has consistently attacked the president over his response to the pandemic. '
'Pence has been a vocal defender of the Trump administration’s response to the virus amid consistent criticism of the president’s rhetoric downplaying the virus and other missteps. '
'Troye stepped down from her position in July, having worked for Pence for two years. '
...But dis- doesn't always work that way; in some rare cases it functions instead as an intensifier. Disgruntle developed from this intensifying sense of dis- plus gruntle, an old word (now used only in British dialect) meaning "to grumble."
