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?

Not good enough! Never good enough!

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.

10. I don't get into this "not enough xxxx" stuff, but there are seven people named:

All seven are women
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?

“Communicating directly and truthfully to the American people is one of the most important duties of a President, and this team will be entrusted with the tremendous responsibility of connecting the American people to the White House,” Biden said in a statement.

*******

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

(Nothing wrong with cookie cutter blondes - but when every similar position is filled with one it is pretty clear they were chosen for appearance rather than skill.)

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.
