Title: US Senator says she will not vote for any non minority/LGBTQ cabinet members.
Post by: Grape Ape on March 23, 2021, 07:04:13 PM
This is not surprising, given that Biden made made clear he chose his VP based on gender and race.

However, this is blatantly racist, and there should be censure, and the stripping of committees.

But the double standard will apply.

“I am a no vote on the floor, on all non diversity nominees,” Duckworth said. “You know, I will vote for racial minorities and I will vote for LGBTQ. But anybody else I’m not voting for.”

And yes, the article is from a conservative site.  But it is almost 100% direct quotes from real people.

Her response was actually because the Biden admin insinuated that the election of Harris should satisfy minorities that they have representation.  They've unintentionally admitted the VP was selected on gender and race as the primary qualifications.

Not just Duckworth.  My Senator Hirono too.  Voting for or against someone based on their ethnicity is the very definition of racism.  No employer could ever do this.  This is twisted. 

And it's not just on conservative sites.

Hirono is certified special needs, so I don't count her.  She may be the dumbest person in congress, and I say that knowing AOC exists.

But you are correct, it's the very definition of racism.   At least democrats and other women are calling her out on this.

When Hirono was Lt. Gov. of Hawaii, someone told me that was not very bright.  I had no idea because the Lt. Gov. here is typically quiet.  Doesn't do or say much.  Then I watched a debate between her and Linda Lingle when they were running for the Senate seat.  It was like an adult debating a child.  But Hirono got 62 percent of the vote, because we are a one party state; the least politically diverse state in the country.  Now I've heard people from all across the country call her one of the dumbest persons in Congress.  It's embarrassing. 

Our country is so screwed.  I never really got into the culture wars, but a lot of people better suit up or we will be overrun by these twisted social justice warriors.   (I'm speaking figuratively about war and suiting up.)

Oh I'm positive.  I don't want Big Brother knocking on my door or putting me on a no fly list.  I got to handle my business.  Going to start flying again soon.  lol   ;D
