BuzzFeed Fires White House Correspondent For Violating Its ‘Code Of Conduct’

Another one bites the dust.

BuzzFeed has fired White House correspondent Adrian Carrasquillo. Why? They say he violated their “Code of Conduct” after allegedly sending an “inappropriate” message to another employee.

It certainly doesn’t sound like this was a completely rash decision. Remember that “Sh—- Media Men” list? BuzzFeed started investigating him after discovering his name on it.

“In responding to a complaint filed last week by an employee, we learned that Adrian violated our Code of Conduct by sending an inappropriate message to a colleague,” BuzzFeed News spokesperson Matt Mittenthal told Fox News in a statement.

Mittenthal added: “This followed a recent reminder about our prohibition against inappropriate communications. We are saddened by these circumstances, but we take these issues extremely seriously. We’re committed to ensuring that BuzzFeed remains a place where everyone is treated respectfully by his or her peers.”

Carrasquillo, according to a LinkedIn profile of the same name, had been at the media company since 2013, and took on the role of White House Correspondent in November 2016.

BuzzFeed began investigating some employees in November following harassment complaints from staffers, according to reports from Business Insider.

So there you have it. He’s ouuuuuuut.
