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 mustve 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.
Love April clapbacks..

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.

"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.
