White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is being pressed on whether President Joe Biden’s promise to fire anyone for disrespect still stands amid White House Deputy Press Secretary TJ Ducklo’s resignation.

She added, “On Saturday, when we announced that TJ Ducklo had resigned his position, something we all agreed was the right path forward, I made clear that every day we’re going to try to meet the standard set out by the president in treating others with dignity and respect, with civility and with the value for others through our words and our actions.”
Psaki told reporters Ducklo is no longer employed and she thinks “that speaks for itself.”
