Washington Post editor called out after posting to TikTok on 'toxic ex' working for Biden campaign

A Washington Post editor posted a TikTok last month taunting a "toxic" ex-boyfriend who works for the Biden campaign amid scrutiny about the president's dismal debate performance.

Washington Post opinion editor Alexi McCammond posted a TikTok on June 29, sticking her tongue out and blowing kisses with on-screen text that reads, "Good morning! I'd just say 'morning' but I'm not my toxic ex who works for the Biden campaign and has to play cleanup after that disastrous debate."

She also posted a caption for the video, writing, "Big job for, as Taylor Swift might say, the smallest man alive," referencing the pop star's latest album. McCammond was referring to senior adviser TJ Ducklo, who left the Biden White House shortly after the president took office while he was still dating the journalist.

Ducklo resigned in February 2021 as deputy press secretary amid allegations he made "derogatory and misogynistic" remarks to Politico reporter Tara Palmeri, who reported on his relationship with McCammond.

The allegations against him stemmed from an off-the-record call between Palmeri and Ducklo earlier that year, during which he allegedly said: "I will destroy you." After significant backlash, Ducklo decided to resign.

In a surprising turn of events, Ducklo announced in June 2023 that he would join the Biden re-election campaign in a senior role.

It's unclear when Ducklo and McCammond's relationship ended, but there appears to be little affection left given McCammond's trolling video. It was highlighted by the Washington Free Beacon, as well as Democratic commentator Kaivan Shroff, who made note of the reporter's tumultuous history.
