United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom Robert Wood Johnson attends the Commonwealth Day Service 2020 at Westminster Abbey, March 9, 2020, in London.But amid media reports that Johnson made sexist and racist comments, the OIG said it"learned, through employee questionnaires and interviews, that the Ambassador sometimes made inappropriate or insensitive comments on topics generally considered Equal Employment Opportunity -sensitive, such as religion, sex, or color.
But the report notes that improved when a new deputy chief of mission took over in January 2019, who worked better with Johnson than Lew Lukens, a senior Foreign Service officer who had previously served as U.S. ambassador to Senegal and to Guinea-Bissau. Johnson himself took issue with the report's finding about"insensitive" remarks, writing in a May 27 letter to the OIG,"If I have unintentionally offended anyone in the execution of my duties, I deeply regret that, but I do not accept that I have treated employees with disrespect or discriminated in any.""I believe that team cohesion in our mission is better than ever," he added, noting the"absence of any official complaints against me" by staffers.
