CNN In Full Meltdown Over Zinke Allegedly Favoring ‘Excellence’ Over ‘Diversity’
The Daily Caller ^ | 03/26/2018 | Michael Bastasch

Posted on 03/26/2018 12:50:17 PM PDT by detective

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is taking heat for allegedly telling staffers he would focus on “excellence” and finding the “best people” to work at the department, not “diversity.”

Zinke’s lack of concern over “diversity” at the Interior Department angered some staffers, who rushed to tell CNN. The news network on Monday ran with the chyron: “Zinke angers many by saying it’s more important to find best people; Dept denies.”

Each time Zinke was asked about diversity, he would respond, “what’s important is having the right person for the right job,” or “I care about excellence, and I’m going to get the best people, and you’ll find we have the most diverse group anyone’s ever had,” sources told CNN.

Zinke’s spokeswoman denied he made those comments, telling CNN “the anonymous claims made against the secretary are untrue.”

He can now move to fire every Obama hire in the department and replace with with excellence. Great time to make it happen.

CNN needs a lot of “excellence” to replace the personnel selected because of their liberalism and hate for America.

I like this guy more and more.

To the Left, “Diversity” is merely a club to beat normal people with. I’m reminded of the “diverse” picture of the hard-Left Huffington Post’s editorial board, which is all Caucasian and all the same sex. Presumably, to the Left, it’s ok since all of them are women, and therefore the board is completely “diverse”.

Study after study, of business and society, has shown that “diversity” is a recipe for conflict and degradation no matter the situation.

Fake news - what it does reveal is the propaganda weapon the leftists will used against Zinke.
