Joe Biden Deputy Press Secretary T.J. Ducklo Resigns over ScandalCharlie Spiering 13 Feb 2021
President Joe Biden’s deputy press secretary T.J. Ducklo resigned Saturday, unable to survive the scandal of verbally abusing a female reporter on the phone.
“No words can express my regret, my embarrassment, and my disgust for my behavior,†Ducklo wrote in his resignation statement, admitting that his conversation was “abhorrent, disrespectful, and unacceptable.â€
White House press secretary Jen Psaki accepted Ducklo’s resignation in a statement on Saturday evening.
“We are committed to striving every day to meet the standard set by the President in treating others with dignity and respect, with civility and with a value for others through our words and our actions,†she said, noting that senior staff spoke with Ducklo about the incident on Saturday evening.
The incident between Ducklow and Politico reporter Tara Palmeri began on January 20th on Biden’s Inauguration Day.
In a phone conversation with Palmeri, Ducklo threatened to “destroy†her after she called his girlfriend and Axios reporter, Alexi McCammond, to discuss their romantic relationship for a story.
