Republican and Democratic presidents have long nodded to the importance of diversity as they select their Cabinets. Since 1989, every president’s first Cabinet has included at least one Latino.
Not Donald Trump’s.
After a campaign in which relations with Latinos grew painfully raw, the sort of tension that typically would make reaching out imperative, Trump selected a Cabinet that is predominantly white and male. The only members who break from that description, out of 15 positions, are an African American man, one Asian American woman and a white woman.
The absence struck many Latinos as a fresh slap after a season of insults. Trump opened his campaign by asserting that some Mexican immigrants were rapists and murderers and spent much of his time promising to deport Latinos in the country without proper papers, a group that comprises millions of people and affects millions more. He had no high-profile Latino campaign surrogates or staff members.

More bull.
What about a transgender, a midget and a circus performer?
Asserting that some Mexican immigrants were rapists? How many times is the media going to gargle this totally misrepresentated crap?
Importance?
I noticed there are no Mongolians in his inner circle either. RACIST!!

No more jellybeans. Merit first.
Ah, not necessarily. I think the clue is leave the "Latino" identification behind.
Learn and use American English as the only language by which government is executed. Use Spanish only with your abuela, and then only sparingly. Don't even think in Spanglish.
Oh woe — a box unchecked, a leftist demand ignored.
Poor Donald ...no matter who he picks or what great things he’s already, done can’t win.
OH wait...HE DID WIN!!!
Hey LA Slimes,
Put some ice on it.
Somehow on CNN they were using the term “best and brightest” in the same sentence as “diversity” and claiming it’s diversity that makes the cabinet the best people.
Actually this diversity thing is great. CNN kept saying Obama is the greatest, smartest, wisest, and the only attribute they kept repeating was “first black president”. It really works! /s
Multiculturalism doesn’t work and we’re seeing it to the extreme now.
Maybe he will make up for it with one of his Supreme Court picks.
Hispanic is a racial invention by the Left to attempt to continue to divide people.
Don’t think it’s a fiction? Look how quickly the MSM turns the Fort Lauderdale shooter into a ‘white hispanic’. A term only used by the MSM when they need to reclassify some perp as an evil white guy.
FU. If a Republican has a “latino” in his cabinet, you rip him to shreds and give the Republican no credit. So STFU.
Ted Cruz
Of course it is, as most other memes fabricated by the Left are for the purpose of division of American culture.
OH NOOOOOOOOEZ
that means....no South Lawn Czar...
:(
I’ll be honest....I’m all broken up about that (smirk).
