Journalists Decry TJ Ducklo after Bombshell Report: ‘In Which the Biden WH Adopts Trump Tactics…’
A great number of well-regarded and blue-checked journalists are rallying in support of a fellow journalist and condemning the actions of a White House official.
TJ Ducklo is the former MSNBC communications professional turned Biden Campaign Communications staffer turned White House Communications team member who finds himself at the center of a controversy that appears to be entirely of his own making.
Vanity Fair correspondent and Mediaite alum Caleb Ecarma shocked the DC press corps with an explosive report revealing a stunning attack on a reporter by Biden White House official.
According to the stunning piece, Ducklo spoke to Politico reporter Tara Palmeri in a manner that will surely lead to official condemnation from the Biden Administration, and quite honestly, seems to have put his job in jeopardy, given President Joe Biden’s self-proclaimed standards for treating others with respect.
“I’m not joking when I say this: If you ever work with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I will fire you on the spot. No ifs, ands or buts,” Biden claimed. But as Ecarama reports, it appears that the White House defended Ducklo instead.
Palmeri was reporting on a romantic relationship between Ducklo and an Axios reporter, which he was trying to get Politico to spike. Instead, he took the story to People magazine, which gave Ducklo a highly favorable portrayal. Only afterward, did the ugly details of Ducklo’s tactics emerge, which raised the eyebrows of DC journalists:
