Joe Biden has been the President for nearly three weeks. It’s hard to tell what he does more of, breaking promises or signing executive orders.

Check out this video of President Biden on his first day in office.

Biden 3 weeks ago: "If you’re ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot, on the spot. No if, ands, or buts. Everybody — everybody is entitled to be treated with decency & dignity." pic.twitter.com/0QDHnyU3Jo

Well, reports broke about how Deputy Press Secretary, TJ Ducklo, berated a female reporter with Politico. They got into a heated argument where he said, “I will destroy you”.

Apparently, this was over the reporter’s coverage on Ducklo’s relationship with an Axios reporter. Claiming the Politico reporter was “jealous”.

Either way, his actions are wrong. According to the President in his speech we just showed you, Ducklo should be fired, right?

Nope, he’s just getting a slap on the wrist.

Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, released this statement:

TJ Ducklo has apologized to the reporter, with whom he had a heated conversation about his personal life. He is the first to acknowledge this is not the standard of behavior set out by the President.

With the approval of the White House Chief of Staff, he has been placed on a one-week suspension without pay. In addition, when he returns, he will no longer be assigned to work with any reporters at Politico.

You can add this latest blunder to the long list of promises President Biden has broken.
