I don’t think so, I think he must believe she has potential and he’s trying to get her through the learning curve. He’s trying to give her bonafide qualifications since she obviously wants to run for POTUS. Nobody is going to want to vote for some a**hole who points the finger and whines about how unfair everything is every time they have a leadership challenge.
This isn’t a case of the boss shoving a job off on someone without giving them authority, he has given her authority. Everything I’ve seen tells me she is not up to the faith Biden has placed in her. Just look at her reaction, she clearly wants to always be able to run and tattle to daddy. She’s not going to lead.
She’s there to facilitate the border crossers not fix the situation.
