...toward minority women.
West Virginia is 93 percent Caucasian. Gender is divided about 50 to 50.
First, Joe Manchin takes offense at Vice President Harris talking to West Virginians about the COVID relief bill and now Manchin is stating he is taking offense of Facebook posts by Neera Tanden. No
I think Joe Manchin needs to rethink his nonsense about minority women in government. Vice President Harris has a schedule she keeps. She has a right to her autonomy. She was attempting to help the party that is proving they can get the job done. What is Manchin’s problem?
Neera Tandan is highly qualified to do the job at OMB. She is a political activist as well. One has nothing to do with the other and Neera Tandan is perfectly capable of separating her politics from her job. I sincerely believe picking on minority women is a bad idea.
To be clear Neera Tandan has worked on programs that have changed the face of this country. Most notably is the “Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act” which changed welfare forever. Why is she so talented within government? She is a Yale Law School graduate that loves people and is capable of handling the demands in Washington, DC.
Neera deserves the job. She has apologized for any internet posts that may have insulted Republicans. She means it. She feels bad about it. Thin skinned Republicans are no excuse for Joe Manchin to vote to keep her from serving in a job she will excel at and help bring good outcomes to the American people. It is time Senator Manchin get over himself and appreciate the expertise minority women are bringing to the work of government.
I think Democrats need to spend a little more time with the people of West Virginia. They are good folks, but, this is the 21st century where Americans care about each other regardless of their differences.
