Biden Should Have Fulfilled His Promise And Fired Ducklo ‘On The Spot’ After He Reportedly Sexually Harassed Reporter

“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, on the spot. No if, ands, or buts. Everybody — everybody is entitled to be treated with decency and dignity,” President Biden announced just a few weeks ago.

Turns out, that promise was worthless.

On Friday, the White House announced that it was only suspending Deputy Press Secretary TJ Ducklo “after a report surfaced alleging that he sexually harassed and threatened a female reporter who was getting ready to publish a report revealing that he was dating a reporter who had previously been tasked with covering Democrat Joe Biden.”

On Saturday, Ducklo submitted his resignation, saying in a statement, “No words can express my regret, my embarrassment, and my disgust for my behavior. I used language that no women should ever have to hear from anyone, especially in a situation where she was just trying to do her job. It was language that was abhorrent, disrespectful, and unacceptable.”
