U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, once a top campaign surrogate for Donald Trump, has resigned amid a misconduct probe.

“Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime,” Guilfoyle said Tuesday in a post on X announcing her resignation.

She also addressed “recent allegations against me,” writing, “These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity.”

Guilfoyle’s post came shortly after new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia told reporters that Guilfoyle had been asked to step down.

    I bet you never say anything bad about anyone ever. Because you can’t do that. Because that is unfair to any of the people you think are bad.

    It’s like, you can’t say “retard”, because that’s offensive. But saying “idiot” is ok! Or calling someone dumb. Or an asshole. Because that would be offensive to assholes.

    You’re trying to police people’s language, just like religious nutjobs did during the Victorian era. “Oh no my sensibilities! I have to censor everyone who says anything I don’t personally feel ok with”.

    It’s pearl clutching and it has no place here, or anywhere.

      Internal consistency is apparently very difficult for you.

      I’m sorry you suck as a person.
