Politico Fires Ioffe for Vulgar Tweet About Trump Family; He’s ‘F***ing His Daughter or Shirking’ Laws

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, which can be found below:

Ioffe seemed to have doubled down and offered only half-hearted apologies prior to her firing as she ruled in separate tweets that “[w]e have a President-elect who popularized ‘saying what everyone is thinking,’ but I guess my phrasing should have been more delicate.”

Right around the time of the Politico e-mail, Ioffe hinted that her firing was akin to what occurs under authoritarian regimes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~She's going to be hired by The Atlantic!

She has a crush on Trump and wishes she were Melania.

No Ioffe, the firing came around the time you tweeted deplorable things Trump and his daughter. You are another low life,angry leftist who are only tolerant of their own beliefs. Your kind never really survives the long haul because of your hatred. You deserved to be fired - own it for once be a big girl.

There’s no punishment here. She was about to start with a new employer who, from what we have seen so far, is not the least bit offended or rescinded their employment offer. Until The Atlantic disciplines her, there’s no consequences here.

Probably another bitter feminist media hag with no sex life of her own anyway.

Since it was written, it becomes libel. The Donald and Ivanka can sue this pathetic excuse for a woman for defamation.

I don’t think she has crush on Donald....it’s his daughter. She writes too much about lesbians. Was senior editor at New Republic, wrote for HuffPo, worked at Politico and now at The Atlantia. Bitch was born in Moscow, Russia.

I think that I have read that the incoming Trump Administration has already stated that ‘The Atlantic’ magazine will not have access to the White House Press Facilities due to Ms Ioffe. I hope that remains the case.

I’m offended by this reporter’s lack of civility.

Since Social Justice Warriors always project ( Vox’s Third Law of SJW) I will presume she has more than a passing interest in incest. Maybe it is prevalent in her culture, one way or another incest has affected her.

Wemple reported just after 7:00 p.m. Eastern on Twitter that The Atlantic has decided not to take any further action against Ioffe because they’re “confident” she will not stray from the magazine’s standards of conduct.

The Atlantic has no integrity or standards.

So, yes, she'll fit right in.

Liberal “journalists” are like cockroaches. For every one that is squashed another takes its place.

They can claim practically any amount and have it justified. Their lawyers are smart/crafty enough to enumerate lots of areas where they would be harmed fiscally, Ivanka since she has a clothing line and The Donald as a hotel magnate.

Tolerant liberals have taken to character assassination.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is getting stronger.
