Black Dems not happy Biden snubbed Rep. Marcia Fudge for Agriculture Secretary

[Counselor706]

Black Democrats are unhappy former Vice President Joe Biden snubbed Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) for the position of Agriculture Secretary, instead choosing her for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) lobbied Biden to pick Fudge to head the Department of Agriculture, to better serve minority communities in the United States. Fudge is a former prosecutor and mayor and sits on the Agriculture Committee.

Axios reported Thursday: “Black Democrats are upset Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) was passed over for Agriculture and tapped for what some perceive as a token African American slot: Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.” Axios also reported that the CBC “now faces the prospect of a white man or woman heading the Justice Department.”

Why would anyone consider anything Axios has to say as truly credible?

Axios' primary sponsors are BP, Walmart, and Koch Industries... not exactly non-partisan corporations.

Axios never goes into an interview with skepticism to state the tough questions and demand honest answers. All Mike Allen is good at is giving awkward call outs to try to make his interviews standout... but they never do. Even after trump failed to make a truly significant deal while in office, Axios was still calling trump a deal maker. lol
Axios and trump seem to be made for each other... but if Axios continues to suck trump's dick, don't expect anyone to believe they're credible.

1) What the fuck does the bold part even mean??

2) Since when was servicing minority communities the USDA's fuckin' job ???

3) What qualifies a city girl who's by everything available on her with a google search NEVER had anything to do with the agricultural industry qualified to be AgSec?

Oh look.....basic ad hom fallacy, and nothing but.

Let's not pretend Axios is the least bit concerned about anything but sowing discord among progressives. THAT is what this is about, nothing more.

Leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement have come out against President-elect Joe Biden’s decision to nominate former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg for Secretary of Transportation, recalling his struggles with minority voters.

Biden announced Tuesday that Buttigieg was his choice for the transportation post — a plum position for a candidate who dropped out of the presidential race before Super Tuesday and endorsed the former vice president.

In a statement Tuesday, South Bend-based Black Lives Matter leader Jordan Geiger said: “[W]e urge the rejection of our former mayor Pete Buttigieg, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, and Rhode Island, Governor Gina Raimondo for Transportation Secretary or any other cabinet position.”

ABC’s Beatrice-Elizabeth Peterson noted that Black Lives Matter leaders have sought a meeting with Biden for more than a month but have not received an invitation.
