Politico Fires Ioffe for Vulgar Tweet About Trump; He’s (expltive) His Daughter or Shirking Laws
Newsbusters ^ | 12-14-2016 | Chris Houck

Politico, hate,Late Wednesday afternoon, Politico fired, “effective immediately,” foreign policy contributor Julia Ioffe for a vulgar tweet suggesting that President-elect Donald Trump may be committing incest with daughter Ivanka. It came in light of reports the Trump daughter would occupy the First Lady’s office in her father’s White House, which Trump spokesmen denied.   The decision came just prior to her official departure to The Atlantic. Ioffe has since repeatedly apologized for her offensive statement and deleted the tweet in question....

In an e-mail obtained by The Washington Post’s Erik Wemple and others, Politico Editor-in-Chief John Harris and Editor Carrie Budoff Brown wrote to staff that her “tweet this afternoon about President-elect Trump — currently and understandably racing across social media — is a clear example of the opposite of what we were talking about” concerning acceptable use of social media.

“Julia had previously announced she is taking her work to the Atlantic. We have accelerated the close of her POLITICO contributor contract, effective immediately,” Harris and Brown added before concluding that they “understand how absolutely infuriating it is to have incidents like this tarnish POLITICO.”

What world do these people live in where they think that’s an appropriate off the cuff remark.

This whole deal about business conflicts of interest and this and that about his closest family is the start of ‘isolating’ Trump.

Everybody knows that there’s very little chance of Trump having a conflict of interest with his family while President.

Looking like Ivanka is going to be the first female President in 2020.

OK OK but she posted this on Breitbart tonight:

“We’re going to stuff the Dept of Energy with climate scientists...

specifically the ones that know global warming is a hoax.”

“Ioffe was born in Moscow and her family arrived in the United States in 1990 when Ioffe was 7; they were legal immigrants who according to Ioffe were “fleeing anti-Semitism” in the Soviet Union due to having Jewish descent. They settled in Columbia, Maryland. Ioffe attended Princeton University and earned an undergraduate degree, with a major in history, specializing in Soviet history.”

It figures doesn’t it?

...concluding that they “understand how absolutely infuriating it is to have incidents like this tarnish POLITICO.

I always wondered what it would take to [further] tarnish POLITICO. This ain't it.

Obviously she learned absolutely nothing. She should return to a communist country like, say North Korea.

according to Ioffe were “fleeing anti-Semitism” in the Soviet Union due to having Jewish descent.

Fleeing the consequences of their own behavior seems more likely.
