Well, He Still Beat Scaramucci
White House Junior Deputy Press Secretary TJ Ducklo got himself in hot water after he threatened a Reporter from Politico who was asking questions about his relationship with another Reporter that works for Axios.
Ducklo is dating Axios political reporter Alexi McCammond, who covered the Joe Biden campaign. McCammond has since been taken off the White House beat.
Ducklo lashed out at Politico reporter Tara Palmeri, who was reporting the story of the relationship. “I will destroy you,” Ducklo reportedly told Palmeri as she pressed him.
At first, Ducklo was suspended for a week without pay.
But, as the story continued to have legs, it was clear that the week’s suspension was not going to be enough. Ducklo “resigned” from the White House and issued this statement:
Ducklo lasted just 25 days on the job, which is still 14 days longer than Anthony Scaramucci lasted at the Trump White House.
