Teen Vogue Staffers Lose It Over Hiring Of Axios Reporter Who Is Dating White House Aide Over ‘Racist,’ ‘Homophobic Tweets’

OPINION | This article contains commentary that reflects the author's opinion.

20 Teen Vogue staffers signed a letter to management saying that they disagreed with the company’s recent hiring of former Axios reporter Alexi McCammond due to “past racist and homophobic tweets,” according to The Daily Caller.

The global company Condé Nast chose McCammond as Teen Vogue’s new editor-in-chief.

McCammond previously worked at Axios.

“As more than 20 members of the staff of Teen Vogue, we’ve built our outlet’s reputation as a voice for justice and change – we take immense pride in our work and in creating an inclusive environment,” the announcement read. “That’s why we have written a letter to management at Condé Nast about the recent hire of Alexi McCammond as our new editor-in-chief in light of her past racist and homophobic tweets.”

“We’ve heard the concerns of our readers, and we stand with you,” Teen Vogue staffers continued. “In a moment of historically high anti-Asian violence and amid the on-going struggles of the LGBTQ community, we as the staff of Teen Vogue fully reject those sentiments.”

The letter ended by saying staffers hope “an internal conversation will prove fruitful in maintaining the integrity granted to us by our audience.”

From The Daily Caller:

McCammond apologized after the tweets surfaced in 2019 and noted she had deleted them.

Condé Nast did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller.
