CNBC is reporting that Jon Cordova — HHS Assistant Secretary of Administration of HHS — has been placed on “administrative leave” for inappropriate social media posts. The article is here. The major things were:
Cordova also reportedly shared on Facebook a story that claimed without any evidence that Gold Star father Khizr Khan is a "Muslim Brotherhood agent," and shared a doctored image of a black man holding a poster reading "No mother should have to fear for her son's life every time he robs a store."
Ok, ok but so what? He’s just an administrator. Except maybe:
Those postings would be problematic for any top federal official — but are particularly so in the case of Cordova, who oversees "day-to-day operations" of HHS' Human Resources office and Equal Opportunity Compliance, according to HHS.
But, hey, put him on leave and sneak him back in a couple of weeks later? Right?
The status of this joker should be a question at every White House press meeting until he is fired.
