COVER UP: Biden’s Deputy Press Secretary Caught THREATENING a Female Reporter in Misogynistic Rant

Deputy press secretary for the Biden Administration TJ Ducklo is under intense scrutiny after he was caught threatening female journalist Tara Palmeri after she uncovered his romantic relationship with Axios reporter Alexi McCammond who was in charge of covering Biden’s campaign.

The threat from Ducklo is quite ironic considering President Joe Biden recently said that he would have zero tolerance for “disrespectful” people in his administration yet Ducklo still appears to have a job.

The confrontation began on Inauguration Day, January 20, after Palmeri, a coauthor of Politico’s Playbook, contacted McCammond for comment while one of her male colleagues left a message for Ducklo, according to sources. Ducklo subsequently called a Playbook editor to object to the story, but was told to call the Playbook reporters with his concerns. But instead of calling the male reporter who initially contacted him, Ducklo tried to intimidate Palmeri by phone in an effort to kill the story. “I will destroy you,” Ducklo told her, according to sources, adding that he would ruin her reputation if she published it.

During the off-the-record call, Ducklo made derogatory and misogynistic comments, accusing Palmeri of only reporting on his relationship—which, due to the ethics questions that factor into the relationship between a journalist and White House official, falls under the purview of her reporting beat—because she was “jealous” that an unidentified man in the past had “wanted to fuck” McCammond “and not you.” Ducklo also accused Palmeri of being “jealous” of his relationship with McCammond. (Palmeri had no prior relationship or communication with McCammond before calling her to report on the Playbook item, which was a story that she was assigned and had not independently pursued.)

An update to this story, Ducklo has been suspended for one week. Not fired though! Guess, Biden isn’t a man of his word!
