I am delighted with President-elect Biden's selection of Tony Blinken to be his Secretary of State if for no other reason than it makes anti-Semites like Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib angry.
Upon learning about the appointment of Blinken, who is Jewish, Tlaib reacted by stating, “So long as he doesn’t suppress my First Amendment right to speak out against Netanyahu’s racist and inhumane policies.”
Of course, Tlaib''s claim is belied by her public statement. She is bestowing a power upon Blinken he doesn't have by suggesting that he is someone whose loyalty is to Israel. As Taylor Swift says, "Haters gonna hate."
I, for one, hope Biden isn't finished adding Jews to the White House because in so doing he will demonstrate the difference between moderate and sensible Democrats and those Democrats who are governed by bigotry every bit as much as their Trumpist counterparts.
