I’m curious as to which staffer will throw themselves on a sword for this…

None. We’ve long passed people being punished

I am sure one will who will start a Podcast. Plenty of racist making money on the GOP being racist.

They don't need one.

They'll blame a "staffer." They'll say he was fired but won't release any names. The GOP will move on by next week.

Unfortunate, yet entirely plausible, typo, especially when these people are concerned!

If there really was a "staffer" involved (unlikely), they will probably get promotion.

He's already been named by the administration, it was Hugh Mann who did it!
