Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.) called Tuesday for the resignation of Michael Pack, CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), accusing him of managing the agency in an openly partisan manner.

Pack, a Trump appointee who took over as head of the USAGM in June, has since removed or pushed out the heads of the agency's news outlets - including Voice of America (VOA) - and replaced the members of the organization's bipartisan advisory board with conservative appointees.

"Since taking office, you have undertaken sweeping changes that call into question USAGM's status as an independent news organization with the apparent goal of advancing the partisan interests of the Trump Administration. I call on you to resign from your position immediately," Kennedy wrote to Pack in a letter reviewed by The Hill.

Kennedy is the first member of Congress to openly call for Pack's resignation, following a series of scandals at the USAGM.

1. They're throwing in everything they spent 3 1/2 years setting up. Going to be tough headwinds. . nt

2. While I know Rep. Kennedy is right, what's the chances of a trumpanzee resigning?

3. They should be informed that if they violate the spirit of the purpose of the agency

they WILL pay a price. Even if "just following orders".

Threaten them. They know that President Biden is coming to town, and will be taking names and kicking ass.

And yes, I purposely used "threaten". If you don't do what is right, you will pay the price. Just telling it like it is. Cause and effect.

There are going to be a LOT of people "paying the price".

Today, right now, this very second, I am an optimist.
