“Ousting Trump.” Interesting choice of words. 😂

[TheDivino]

This administration is an absolute Joke

[iabdgogogoletsgo]

Yes, diversity is so much more important than qualification. Why is that not the focus?

[AwkwardTruths]

Biden makes an historical pick and MSNBC had to relate it to "Trump" somehow. :)

[Cline]

This type of thing spits in the face of everything MLK stood for.

[LEETCH_]

"Ousting Trump" lol. Are you trying to convince us, or yourselves MSDNC?

[odie]

It's not diversity when you're nominating specifically because of race and gender. In fact it's discrimination at it's apex.

[thepitpatrol]

Yea Biden has been a raving success. And hey look how well picking a V.P. based on color and gender worked out.

[toejam]

Selected based on race is the same as discriminated based on race. What a clown administration and embarrassment

[davidcaunter]

She might well have been the best candidate but her legacy will be tarnished as a “quota pick”. In case you forgot, 75% of Americans polled didn’t want a person selected based on race.

[themashugana]

"after ousting trump?" 81 million votes??? yeah, no.

[bobbyt]

Makes historic racial choice..Based solely on race and gender.

[barabbasrosebud]

Well she certainly looks qualified. No one will ever judge her unqualified by looking at her. And looks are all that really matter.

[mk-vgkfan]

When a nominee is selected primarily because they are female and Black, rather than solely because they are believed to be the MOST qualified for the position, it tarnishes and belittles the process. We ALL suffer as a consequence.

[mike]

So he picks an unqualified diversity hire and its Trump fault? The TDS is strong

[MrJiggerG]

So, today we choose people not by merit, but biasly, by gender and the color of our skin. Bigotry and racism have taken on new meanings in America. What could go wrong?

[DocLulzson]

*If you get a job just because of your color be it black white or green your not the best person for the job. What has this world come too? The whole thing is a joke .*

[lesterpeyton]

It's all about the votes, folks. Totally political.

[djl]

Yep, basing a selection on race and gender has proven to work so well, just look at the outstanding job our VP is doing. Not.

[shawnjones]

She don't look like the majority of America more like the lower 13 percent.
