Is she willing to work with Republicans, or is her goal to do nothing but obstruct for the next 2 years?

Off Topic: Non-Serious.
I have no doubt that Ms Fudge has had to deal with wisecracks about her last name for all of her life.
Fudge is a very popular kind of cake in the US.
Fudge is also a way to describe a big screw-up, or a way to hide something. She even has a light Caramel skin tone.

Nuts. Gobs of them. They think they are being clever. Fudge has exactly one more brain cell than Sheila Jackson Lee and she is just as black, making her immune from criticism based on race.
She will anger and frustrate conservatives on a daily basis, but she’ll be somebody the Dems. can use to show the black voters they still need to vote Dem. But she will also be a laughing stock to the voters.
Democrats are still all symbolism and no substance.
