[HipChick]

Patton needs to resign...

Lynne Patton, a top official at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, extended an apology to journalist April Ryan after calling her “Miss Piggy” and a “bankrupt blogger” on Twitter.

“I hear #Miss Piggys still on a rampage. Gee, I must’ve struck a nerve, @AprilRyan! #BankruptBlogger,” Patton, a longtime ally of the Trump family, said in a now-deleted tweet.Patton, who heads a HUD regional office, later apologized to Ryan on both her personal and HUD Twitter accounts.

“Tonight, I made an inexcusable comment on my personal Twitter account that I deeply regret & deleted on my own volition,” Patton said on her HUD account. “I sincerely apologize to @AprilDRyan. I also wish to apologize to my staff at @HUDNY_NJ, @SecretaryCarson & the #Trump family who deserved better leadership.”

3. Patton never should have been there in the first place.

The event planner screws up in a senior government post. Who could have predicted this?

My biggest concern is that the Trump Administration will see the apology as the only thing she did wrong.

6. Once again, the Trumpanzees need to learn...

"Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel."

I can remember a time not so long ago in a more civil society where people like Patton would be fired even after a more sincere apology than this crocodile lotion. IOKIYASR, I guess.
