Biden Deputy spokesman resigns before getting fired.
White House Deputy Spokesman TJ Ducklo was originally suspended for one week without pay, but now the administration of President Joe Biden has accepted his resignation, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement.
According to Vanity Fair magazine, Ducklo called Politico reporter Tara Palmeri after she began asking questions about his months-old personal relationship with a reporter from Politico rival Axios, Alexi McCammond.
"I will destroy you," Ducklo said to Palmeri in a phone call shortly after Biden's January 20 presidential inauguration.
According to Vanity Fair, Ducklo "made derogatory and misogynistic comments" to Palmeri and called her "jealous."
Psaki said President Biden accepted Ducklo's resignation after speaking with him 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," Psaki's statement said.
