Cedric Richmond
Public engagement head Cedric Richmond also left the White House for a role with the Democrat National Committee (DNC). According to The New York Post Richmond’s resignation came after reports that he called left-wing Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib “f—ing idiots” emerged.
A former White House aide described the onetime Louisiana congressman as a “nucleus” for black staffers, while a current official described him as a “big brother” and “the voice of those folks,” adding that Richmond’s leaving left aides “a little nervous” according to The New York Post.
