Duckworth: White House told me we ‘don’t need any other Asians in the cabinet’

[Counselor706]

Monday, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) discussed her recent push for more Asian representation in the White House after President Joe Biden vowed to create the “most diverse cabinet” in American history.

“[Y]ou know, I was pushing for more representation at the highest levels of the Biden administration,” Duckworth stated. “I love Kamala — she’s my girlfriend — you know, we were freshmen in the Senate together. I’ve spoken with her. … The folks in the administration actually brought up her name and said, well, you have Kamala, you don’t really need any other Asians in the cabinet. And I thought, wow, that’s really offensive. You wouldn’t say we have a white male president; there shouldn’t be any white male members of the cabinet. Why would you say that to someone from the Asian community? But we worked it out.”

It's hard to decide who's a more loathsome racist, Tammy or Mazie. I'm embracing the power of "and."

So touching that you actually took notice of Sen. Duckworth.
