Psaki dodges on why aide was not fired 'on the spot' for abusive treatment of a reporter
Fox News
Asked why the White House had not immediately fired a press aide who reportedly used sexist and threatening language to a reporter covering him, press secretary Jen Psaki said TJ Ducklo’s resignation was “something we all agreed on.
"He's no longer employed here and I think that speaks for itself," Psaki said of Ducklo’s actions. "If you're ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot," Biden told staff last month. On Friday, Psaki said Ducklo would be suspended for a week without pay and wouldn’t be able to interact with Politico reporters anymore after his mistreatment of reporter Tara Palmeri nearly a month ago. One day later, she announced his resignation.More Related News
