How could she have been mistaken for Hamhock Sanders?

“Patton was an event planner for Donald Trump and his family before his 2016 presidential campaign.”

Says it all…

All class, that Trump administration.

She’s the head of the HUD NYC regional office. A position that requires a lot more experience and knowledge about policy than being an event planner for the Trump organization.

“Tonight, I made an inexcusable comment on my personal Twitter account that I deeply regret…”

Resign.

Otherwise, shut up.

You blew it; now go away.

Forever.

It’s even worse (with this administration, it usually is). She’s the head of Region II, which encompasses all of New York and New Jersey.

Top. People.

My God, talk about glass houses and such.

Doubly typical. If you’ve kissed enough Trump ass, you get a government job, and your entire lack of relevant skill and experience means nothing. It’s an administration just rife with that kind of corruption. And the second typical thing is these are vulgar, rude, hateful, loutish garbage people, in a proportion of about 19 out of 20.

I mean, let’s be honest. In Trump’s mind the primary reason Carson was qualified to be HUD Secretary is that he’s black.

I think the apology is genuine and clearly appropriate. She meant to say “Ms. Piggy”

Indeed. The name Miss Piggy has already been taken by this nation’s WH Press Secretary.

I know. Over the years I’ve had a tangential connection to NYCHA public housing. I’ve spend the first year of my life living in one before my folks received job transfers to the suburbs and have had relatives reside in them.
Proactive tenant associations make a world of difference but
without competent leadership at the top organizations can wither. It would not surprise me if that was not their intention.

HUD Official Apologizes For Referring To Reporter April Ryan As ‘Miss Piggy’

I wonder how she refers to Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell ya, I’ve got to plead ignorance on this one because if anyone had said anything at all to me when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, I never would have done it.

The apology is awesome, you gotta admit. Just think what the one will look like when she’s convicted of whatever crimes she’s on her way to committing in her current position!

She’s getting dragged on Twitter, and it’s a sight to see.

Not only was the remark crass, demeaning, and ugly, it was untrue.

Ms. Ryan may be a bit zaftig, but she is also beautiful, smart, talented, and damned good at her job.

Ms Event Planner should be so lucky.
