White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino issued a sharp rebuke on social media directed at former administration staffers who have been critical of the White House in public forums. In a post characterized by strong language, Scavino addressed individuals who were either terminated from their positions or were not selected for roles within the administration.

Scavino’s statement explicitly told these former employees to stop criticizing the administration through media outlets. He argued that the reason for their departure or lack of employment was their poor performance, using a vulgarity to describe their work quality. He concluded his message by advising them to "take the L," a colloquialism meaning to accept a loss or defeat gracefully.

While the post does not name specific individuals, it serves as a warning to former staff members who have engaged in public criticism. The administration has not provided further comment on whether this post represents an official policy or a personal expression of frustration from the deputy chief of staff. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between current administration officials and former employees who have transitioned into roles as media commentators or critics.
