The Daily Beast: Biden White House Sandbags Staffers, Sidelines Dozens for Pot Use
Several staffers were informally told by transition officials that some past marijuana use would be overlooked, only to be told later that they were being asked to resign.
In a series of tweets, White House press secretary Jen Psaki seems to suggest this may be more about the “level of recent drug use,” not about marijuana use in general. She wrote, “past marijuana use wouldn’t automatically disqualify staff from serving in the White House.” Either way it is prompting a lot of questions.
President Biden:
✔️ Claims to support marijuana decriminalization
✔️ Fires staffers who may have used it in pastMake it make sense. https://t.co/uz5dHkBQIl
