Duckworth backs off vow to oppose Biden nominees after WH vows more Asian Americans in top posts



Geez, when is this crap going to end?? Do these people have no shame?



Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth has backed off her vow to oppose Biden nominees over his administration not having Asian-Americans in high-ranking posts.

The Illinois senator told CNN on Tuesday that she planned to vote "no" on all Biden nominations unless he appointed Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to key executive branch positions. She later retracted that vow after assurances from the Biden administration about elevating members of that community to key posts.

Duckworth spokesperson Ben Garmisa said the administration assured the senator it would do everything possible to elevate Asian Americans and appoint an Asian-American to a senior White House position, according to Politico.

The race card may be overused, but make no mistake...it is still the most powerful card in the deck by far.

What ever happened to the most qualified? We don`t even have a president that is most qualified.

Purely because of the MEDIA and their offshoots.

Tammy Duckworth found out the hard way that only blacks can be victims of diversity, Asians are far too educated and prosperous to need more political power or representation in the eyes of democrats.

But it's all irrelevant, when the democratic party owns 99% of Asian Americans and exploits them for their votes with nothing in return, Tammy is fighting an uphill battle.

I don't think it is. The race card might be a 4 or a 5 in the deck of cards. It's not as impactful as the left thinks it is. Sure it's thrown up on the table all day long but it doesn't resonate with half the population due to oversaturation. While important, it's a tired subject. I'm totally convinced even moderate liberals are burned out on the racism topic...
