We\u2019ve heard the concerns of our readers, and we stand with you.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIn 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.

Ducklo has since resigned from the Biden administration after threatening a Politico reporter who was looking to report on the relationship. Conde Nast hired McCammond shortly after to tackle political issues for the fashion magazine.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>During her time at Axios, McCammond apologized for the resurfaced tweets.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cToday I was reminded of some past insensitive tweets, and I am deeply sorry to anyone I offended. I have since deleted those tweets as they do not reflect my views or who I am today,\u201d McCammond said on Nov. 20, 2019.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Diana Tsui, the editorial director at the publication Infatuation, ripped into McCammond and Conde Nast for their \u201cquestionable hire\u201d in an Instagram post. Tsui said McCammond\u2019s apology was insufficient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cShe had a series of racist tweets in 2011. Maybe we can give her some benefit of the doubt as these were done when she was still a student. But her \u2018apology,\u2019 which was only after people caught them in 2019, referred to them as \u2018deeply insensitive.\u2019 They are not insensitive, they are racist.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tsui said that this is not an example of cancel culture, instead, it\u2019s an example of \u201caccountability.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhen we talk about accountability versus cancel culture, we need to talk about how this should have been addressed, not just by her but also Teen Vogue and Conde Nast as a whole, especially in light of the current national discourse about Asian racism,\u201d Tsui wrote. \u201cTeen Vogue has positioned itself as a champion of inclusiveness and empowerment. Is this truly a leader who also embodies these beliefs? Would a leader preemptively acknowledge the hurt caused by past actions with a future plan of action or would a leader just ignore it and hope no one does a Google search?\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Jim VandeHei, the CEO and co-founder of Axios, came to McCammond\u2019s defense on Twitter advocating that she is a \u201cgreat, strong, caring leader.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI worked [with Alexi] for nearly four years at Axios: she lived her true character: worked her ass off, constantly advocating for ALL individuals and groups,\u201d VandeHei said. \u201cActions [equal] values and soul. She apologized long ago; grew big time.
