A senior Biden adviser is calling it quits one day after calling multiple members of the progressive Squad “f**ing idiots.” Cedric Richmond announced he is leaving his role as senior adviser for a new job with the Democrat National Committee (DNC).

Fox News reports:

“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,” Richmond said in a Tuesday statement.

Richmond’s departure comes one day after reports that he criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. and her fellow “squad” members as “f—ing idiots” after the 2020 election.

New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin reported Richmond’s comments in their new book on the 2020 election, which is set to release next Tuesday. Excerpts obtained by Fox Digital on Monday say that Richmond was among the foremost critics in Biden’s orbit of the Democratic Party’s progressive wing.

Richmond previously served as a Democratic congressman from Louisiana, and it was on a phone call with a Louisiana ally that he reportedly made the scathing remarks about Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.

Richmond served as the director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, and also as a senior adviser to President Biden.
