A White House staffer is out of a job after posting hundreds of critical anonymous tweets about his bosses, NBC News has confirmed.
Jofi Joseph was a director in the non-proliferation section of the National Security Staff at the White House, The Daily Beast reported. For the last two and a half years, Joseph posted snarky tweets that criticized government policies and his bosses, including President Barack Obama.
While the White House has not confirmed the details of the tweets, other sources have, NBC News' Chuck Todd confirmed.
All of the tweets were posted under the handle [MENTION=35136]Nat[/MENTION]secwonk, according to the Daily Beast. The account was popular among Washington insiders. While the account is now closed, Favstar, a web service that tracks tweets, has an archive of Josephs' tweets. Many of them feature offensive language.
Daily Beast senior correspondent Josh Rogin was among those who believed the anonymous [MENTION=35136]Nat[/MENTION]secwonk was an insider.
...
There's no word on how his termination will impact his wife, who also has a high profile job on Capitol Hill.
