(5,005 posts)and saying something about her not getting the podium? She is on this Biden not selecting enough blacks kick? 🙄 She apparently thinks Karine should have been selected as press secretary??? Is the deputy just another name for assistant?

I doubt any of these accomplished women are disappointed in the position they were chosen for.
Has Karine complained?
She should tell JR to knock it off with the false manufactured in-fighting bs.
It doesn't exist.

Three are white
Three are Black
One is Hispanic
I didn't see what she said, but if Joy Reid is complaining that there aren't enough Blacks named she is way out of line here. Why doesn't she think there aren't enough men chosen either?
makes me crazy sometimes.

Joe & Kamala are hiring elite and educated people to work with them and for the American people.

(11,560 posts)After the remarkable election win by Justin Trudeau (remarkable because he was a distant third in a field of three with 4 weeks left. Some political pundits described it as the best campaign ever run anywhere), he was asked why fully half of his Cabinet was comprised of women, and his answer was instant:
"Because it's 2015," he said.
So.....like that.
