Psaki says "we've had "conversations" with TJ Ducklo about how unacceptable his behavior was, as a form of punishment for his threats against a female reporter
A top White House aide made headlines after allegedly using threatening and misogynistic language in an off-the-record call with a
Politico reporter who was looking into his relationship with a fellow news writer. The release of the comments came just hours after Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed that compassion and kindness is back in a tweet from her official government account.
According to
Politico writer Tara Palmeri was writing a story about how White House Deputy Press Secretary TJ Ducklo was dating
Axios reporter Alexi McCammond.
This supposedly earned the ire of Ducklo, who, per the report, contacted Palmeri and spoke in menacing terms, telling her that he will destroy her for writing the story. Purportedly, Ducklo did not call the male reporter who had contacted him for comment but instead targeted the 33-year-old female, who had asked McCammond and not Ducklo for comment.
