Sleepy Joe fires non-woke Capitol Architect, meanwhile Hunter and Jim walk free!
Washington - Oval Office Occupant Joe Biden has terminated the appointment of Brett Blanton as the Architect of the Capitol, who is responsible for overseeing the maintenance and operation of the historic building and its surrounding grounds. The decision came amid mounting pressure for Blanton's removal, following a report from the Office of the Inspector General that found administrative, ethical, and policy violations by Blanton.
The Inspector General's report, which was released in October 2022, revealed several lapses in Blanton's management and personal conduct, including the unauthorized use of his government vehicle and misrepresentation of himself as a law enforcement official. The report also noted Blanton's absence from the Capitol on January 6, 2021, during the breech of the building.
Last week, Blanton faced questions and criticism during a House hearing, which resulted in further doubts about his ability to continue in the role. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy stated in a tweet that Blanton no longer had his confidence to lead the organization and called for his resignation or immediate removal by Oval Office Occupant Biden. The chairman of the House Administration Committee, Rep. Bryan Steil, also called for Blanton's resignation, citing his lack of transparency and truthfulness.
The investigation into Blanton's conduct grew from a hotline complaint about the misuse of his government vehicle. The complaint led to an investigation, which uncovered overwhelming evidence of misuse of AOC vehicles by Blanton and his family, amounting to $13,926.56 in questioned costs. The report also found that Blanton used his official SUV to pursue a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run incident, leading others to believe he was law enforcement.
