Now, lets enter the twilight zone. Imagine if you will, two WHITE politicians getting up and saying this.....IT WOULD MAKE PORTLAND LOOK CALM. WTF is wrong with these people? I mean, this truly IS mental illness....
On Tuesday, two sitting members of the United States Senate announced they oppose the entire foundation of American civil rights law, and then proceed to attack the core principle, the main principle, of our country. Some people on Twitter were shocked by it.
Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and Mazie Hirono of Hawaii publicly informed the
White House that until the
Biden administration puts more people they like in powerful jobs, they will refuse to confirm White nominees.
"I am a no vote on the floor on all non-diversity nominees," Duckworth said, out loud, with cameras rolling. "I will vote for racial minorities and I will vote for LGBTQ, but anybody else, I’m not voting for."
Just in case you missed it, or were unclear on the meaning, Duckworth said this several times. And then Mazie Hirono backed her up.
SEN. MAZIE HIRONO: Tammy’s position is that until she gets a commitment from the White House that there will be more diversity representation in the Cabinet and senior White House advisory positions, she will not vote to confirm anyone who does not represent diversity. So this is not about pitting one diversity group against another. I think this is a well-articulated, focused position, and I am prepared to join her in that.
