Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth vows to stall Biden nominees over lack of Asians

Illinois Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth said Tuesday that she will stall votes on President Biden’s nominees in protest of his lack of Asian American selections to cabinet-level jobs.

Duckworth has the power to single-handedly tank contentious nominees in the evenly divided Senate, though some of Biden’s nominees have passed with significant Republican support.

“There’s no AAPI representation in the cabinet. There’s not a single AAPI in a Cabinet position. That’s unacceptable,” Duckworth told reporters at the Capitol, using a term for Asian Americans a Pacific islanders.

“I’ve been talking to them for months. And they’ve still not addressed it, so I am not going to be voting for any nominee from the White House other than diversity nominees — probably a ‘no’ on every one until they figure this out.”

Duckworth, who was born in Thailand, said, “I told them that this morning. So, hopefully they figure it out. Because I’m a ‘no’ everything other than the diversity candidates.”

It is sickening how these do nothing wannabe dictators jump on the most recent bandwagon to try to make points with the woke crowd.

Does the President even know what AAPI means or what an Asian American really is other than in the 7-Eleven store?

I love it when the LEFT is hoist on its own petard!

Democrat skin pigmentation fight. Dems have no policy initiatives other than figuring out how they can spend money for votes, pack the senate for votes, flood the borders for votes, pack the supreme court for votes, legislate skin preferences for votes, legislate unverified mail in vote schemes for votes, and get rid of everyone’s guns

Fine.

Anything to hamstring the government and keep it from doing more damage.

She’s about to find out that Asians are like Jewish people.

We’re not really minorities. No free crap for us.

(And that’s how I like it.)
