I don't see how blaming the pre-existing website on the current administration makes sense.

Many federal web sites were very quickly altered or replaced by the new administration.

This is common. Work begins on some web sites immediately after the election. For example, when a new president is sworn in, the White House web site flips immediately.

More to the parent poster's point, it has been widely reported in the legitimate media repeatedly that many federal web sites have been replaced or significantly altered by the current administration. There's an entire pseudo-department for it that also makes headlines for its greater transgressions.

Add to that severe and sudden budget and staffing cuts, and like all government functions -- you get what you pay for.
