One of Biden’s top advisers is packing up before the storm hits.
Cedric Richmond, who has been serving as the director of the White House Office of Public Engagement and a senior adviser to President Biden, is leaving the administration.
Richmond will be joining the Democrat National Committee (DNC) in May.
See Ya!
Regardless of who this gets spun, this is Richmond running scared.
Reports broke this week that Richmond blasted two of the most prominent members of the Squad, in AOC and Rashida Tlaib.
If the report is accurate, he characterized them as “fu**ing idiots.”
Richmond is now running for cover rather than face the hit and create even more problems for Biden.
In announcing his departure, he stated, “I am thrilled that the President has entrusted me with helping boost the robust work already being done at the DNC to make sure that Democrats grow their majorities in the House and Senate, and increase the number of Democratic governors in state capitals around the country.”
The report of Richmond’s comment has arrived in the form of a book by New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin on the 2020 election.
He is jumping out of one frying pan and into another, however.
When mid-term elections hit, someone is going to be the fall guy, and it looks like Richmond is now tagged as that guy.
