President Biden has fired Architect of the Capitol J. Brett Blanton, a White House official tells NBCNews, in the wake of a report that said Blanton had abused his authority and misused taxpayer money while overseeing the Capitol complex.

had abused his authority. Last week, he was pressed on those findings and other issues while testifying before the Committee on House Administration.

The committee chair, Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., issued a statement Monday calling on Blanton to resign, saying his"refusal to be transparent and truthful has made clear that he can no longer lead the organization and must resign immediately."that Blanton"no longer has my confidence to continue in his job. He should resign or President Biden should remove him immediately."

The inspector general report, released in October, said Blanton had misused his government vehicle by driving it to vacation destinations and allowing his family to use it for personal matters. The report also said that Blanton mischaracterized his government position, at one point chasing down a vehicle that was described as being involved in a hit-and-run and misrepresenting himself as a law enforcement official.

The transportation secretary also needs to be fired. 3 train wrecks in 10 days and crickets from that office

If he was black he'd get a pass, at least until March 1st. 😨

Typical trump appointee

A Trump Appointee

I nominate George Santos. He is both an architect and a marine biologist.

Now do Dejoy at USPS.

A Trump appointee that abused authority and misused government property? Pretty much sums up the entire administration.

Shocker, Trump trash that was left behind. Cult45 is toxic waste

If we’re going to fire people for misusing taxpayer money, the halls of congress will be empty in a week. So…let’s do it

Imagine accountability in a presidency

Sounds like an excellent reason to fire someone. Unlike a former guy who fired people for not worshiping him, looked at him sideways or just because it was a Friday.

I guess Joseph Robinette Biden Jr will be resigning soon.
