In a normal world, I think his apology and suspension is appropriate. However, with what Biden said about "firing on the spot" for this type of behavior, I think he should be let go.
But even if they did that now, damage is done ... one tick down on credibility. My question is why did they let this slide? I think Psaki said this was discussed with chief-of-staff but not Biden himself ... so that may be the angle.

A Vanity Fair story published Friday said that Ducklo had threatened Palmeri over her piece, vowing he would "destroy her" if she published it. Ducklo, according to the Vanity Fair story, also made misogynistic comments to Palmeri. The magazine reported Ducklo referenced Palmeri's own personal life, accusing her at one point of being "jealous" about his relationship with McCammond.
A person familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN the details of the conversation Ducklo had with Palmeri.

The note from Ducklo, which was obtained by CNN, said, "Last night on the phone with you I lost my temper in a way that was unprofessional, and I apologize for that. I should have done a better job at keeping my emotions in check during our conversation. It won't happen again."
