The White House has suspended a deputy spokesman who had an affair with another reporter. It was previously reported that the spokesman threatened another reporter who was covering the relationship.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed in a social media post that TJ Ducklo has been suspended for a week.
She added, “In addition, when he returns, he will no longer be assigned to work with any reporter at Politico.”
Ducklo has been dating Alexi McCammond, a reporter for the U.S. short news site Axios, it was revealed. Tara Palmeri, a reporter for Politico, was working on a story about the relationship when she contacted Ducklow about it.
According to a story published earlier Friday, Dacrow threatened Palmeri as a result and had told her, “I’m going to ruin you.”
Psaki said that Dakro “has apologized to the journalist and they did have a heated conversation about his personal Life.” She added, “He’s the first person to admit fault for this not meeting the standards of conduct set by the president.”
Biden said in a speech to a group of administration officials last month that he would fire them if he heard they were treating people badly.
Biden said, “I’m not kidding when I say this, if you work with me and I hear you disrespecting another colleague and saying superior things to somebody, I guarantee you, I will fire you on the spot.” “It’s ‘on the spot’ (firing), with no ‘but’, ‘in addition’, or ‘if ‘ and other explanations. Everyone and anyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. In the last four years, this has been greatly ignored.” It is clear that he is blaming Trump.
Neither Politico nor Dacreau returned a reporter’s request for comment.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. short news site Axios said via email, “Last November, Alexie revealed her relationship with TJ to her editors and asked to no longer be involved in Biden-related programming. We reassigned her to reporting on progressives in Congress, the progressive movement and Vice President Kamala Harris. Alexie is a key member of the Axios team and we support her and her reporting.”
Daklow previously served as a spokesman for Joe Biden’s campaign and has joined the White House press team.
His relationship with McCammond was revealed in a profile published by People magazine. Their relationship began in November 2020.
“We both realized we felt the same way,” Daklow told the magazine, “and we were both happy and we wanted to develop the relationship in the right way.”
Both said they each notified their bosses about it, and then McCammond was reassigned.
When my personal life threatened to interfere with my work, I didn’t hesitate to share my happiness with Axios in November because I found this person in TJ who came through in the way I wanted him to,” McCammond said.”
