President Joe Biden warned new White House employees he would terminate them if he found them trashing one another.

Making explicit he wanted to break with the toxic environment that pervaded the West Wing during the previous administration, Biden said he wanted his staff governed by collegiality and respect.

“If you’re ever working with me and I hear you treating another colleague with disrespect, talking down to someone, I will fire you on the spot," Biden said in the State Dining Room during a ceremony swearing-in officials.

He said he wanted his staff to treat each other with decency, something he said had "been missing a big way the past four years."

1. Love it!

When I taught college, I issued a similar mandate. Any disrespect to classmates & 1 full letter grade reduction.

Everyone was respectful!

Everyone needs.

3. As I said even before the primaries, America needs a father figure

instead of an undiscliplined, un-potty-trained brat.

I wanted it to be Joe Biden all along, because I knew he could fulfill the role we need.
