National Portrait Gallery Director Kim Sajet has officially resigned. 

This, according to Just the News, comes after President Donald Trump fired Sajet.

Clearly, she is trying to make it appear as though she has some kind of control over the situation, but, if that were the case, chances are that she would not be packing up her bags and heading home.

Background

In case you missed it, Trump fired Sajet towards the end of last month.

He, at the time, wrote:

Upon the request and recommendation of many people, I am herby terminating the employment of Kim Sajet as Director of the National Portrait Gallery. She is a highly partisan person, and a strong supporter of DEI, which is totally inappropriate for her position. Her replacement will be named shortly. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The White House provided further information about what Trump meant by calling Sajet "a highly partisan person."

The Hill reports:

A White House official told The Hill that Sajet has donated to Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign through Act Blue. The Federal Elections Commission reported that she financially supported Democratic nominees including former President Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, (D-N.Y.),  former Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison (D-S.C.) and others through ActBlue.

This, as it turns out, is just the tip of the iceberg with regard to Sajet's left-wing activism.

The latest

The Hill got the inside scoop on Sajet's decision to resign.

The outlet obtained a statement from Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III, who said:

We are grateful to Kim for leading the National Portrait Gallery with passion and creativity for 12 years. Throughout her tenure, she has reimagined and reshaped the impact and storytelling of portraiture.

The outlet also obtained a memo that Sajet had sent around.

It, in part, said:

This was not an easy decision, but I believe it is the right one. From the very beginning, my guiding principle has been to put the museum first. Today, I believe that stepping aside is the best way to serve the institution I hold so deeply in my heart. The role of a museum director has never been about one individual—it is a shared mission, driven by the passion, creativity, and dedication of an extraordinary team.

This comes roughly two weeks after Trump fired her.
