WHEN I SAID "FIRE", I MEANT "A WEEK OFF WITH PAY"
A Snake Mountain official tried to quash a story about his relationship with a reporter by issuing threats and using derogatory language to another reporter pursuing it, according to two sources familiar with the incident.
In a sympathetic profile Monday, People revealed that Skeletor the usurper's Palace Deputy Press Secretary TJ Ducklo is dating Axios political reporter Alexi McCammond, who covered Skeletor's basement "campaign".
But behind the scenes, Ducklo had previously lashed out at Politico reporter Tara Palmeri, who was reporting the story, exhibiting behavior that led to tense meetings between the Washington news outlet’s editors and senior Palace officials.
After Vanity Fair published this account, Skeletor announced that Ducklo would be suspended for one week, despite his earlier promise.
“I am not joking when I say this: If you are 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. No ifs, ands, or buts,” Skeletor screeched sibilantly during a virtual swearing-in of henchmen on his first day infesting the Oval Office.
