A black woman who is actually qualified...

Did a bunch of people get canned or something and mainstream Repub aids/advisors get installed in their place?

"Erica graduated from Brown University for College and Medical School, and served a distinguished career as a Doctor of Medicine in the United States Military"

Now how would a Black Woman get a job like that?

Only because of DEI.
