13 Democratic lawmakers demanding that no corporate lobbyists or executives be confirmed to cabinet
House progressives and liberal groups Friday called for corporate lobbyists and executives to be shut out from a Biden Administration, drawing a clear line on what they expect if Democrats win the election.
Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., led a group of 13 Democratic lawmakers in penning a letter to demand that no corporate lobbyists or executives be confirmed to the cabinet.
“One of the most important lessons of the Trump administration is the need to stop putting corporate officers and lobbyists in charge of our government,” the lawmakers wrote.
Grijalva was joined by freshman powerhouses Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Katie Porter of California.
hey addressed the letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., since the Senate has the power to confirm a president's nominees. The lawmakers didn't single out former Vice President Joe Biden directly but called for the Senate to deny corporate interests from holding government power "in this or any future administration."
Politico was the first to report on the letter, which was also endorsed by a bevy of progressive and environmental groups, including Indivisible, Justice Democrats, Our Revolution, Greenpeace USA, Sunrise Movement and Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

I guess that leaves out Hunter.
Oh boy! A cabinet of academic and government leeches that have no actual real world accomplishments. What could go wrong?
Hopefully the only cabinet that will exist in relation to Joe Biden is the one in his basement that holds his dementia meds.
AOC, check
Pocahontas, check
Beto, check
Plus lawyers, community organizers, global warming activists and college diversity studies professors.
I think that Joe should only allow foreign nationals and illegal aliens to be on his cabinet. That way China, Russia, Iran and others can have their spies at cabinet level positions in charge of our intelligence agencies and military. Also, by having illegal aliens they could change the culture of border security, welfare payment rules and a hold host of other things. Perhaps they can have special roles for the drug cartels as well, that would be a great source of money for Hunter and the DNC. (/satire)
Translation:
Hire people that have NEVER accomplished anything in their entire lives..............like her.................
Gubmint employees and academic dullards only allowed in the cabinet
“But, but, but, that’s how Obama did it!! Th-that’s how Clinton did it!!!
Will they also call for a ban of union bosses in the cabinet too?
The Squat is going to rule the USA if Biden gets in.
Hell, that will leave out Joe.
Hillary is out too. At one point she was on the Walmart board of directors.
Impossible, that’s who owns him.
And envriowhackos, transgenders, anti-gunners, antifa, and BLM.
Oh no! Hunter was gonna be Secretary of Health and Human Services!
Yes, let’s hire more bartenders.
In Joe’s old days he would only have AOC around for a quick squeeze everyday
