Guess people can sleep better now

Ducklo is a longtime Biden aide fighting stage 4 cancer. Recently he uncharacteristically lost his temper and said some horrible things to a reporter asking about his love life. He immediately apologized.

The Biden team didn't fire him but instead suspended him without pay. Rumor is because if they fired him he would lose his health insurance and he is still receiving cancer treatments. So they gave him a chance to resign which he did today.

Ducklo's career and reputation is ruined. He's no longer a part of the Biden administration. He made a huge mistake, apologized directly to his victim and is now unemployed. I think the Biden team handled this correctly and Ducklo did the right thing by stepping down.

And I'm guessing the beltway press is going to continue to try to dig up scandals like this about Biden because of his promise to fire anyone who acts inappropriately. But hey that's Washington DC for ya.
