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.

Even a blind pig can find a truffle once in a while.

Pigs find truffles all the time. In fact, they're purposely used by people to find truffles, and they don't use their eyes.

Erica G. Schwartz, an attractive, competent, and well-educated Flag Officer, sits on the boards of at least two, if not more, medical-related corporations.

OK then, how about a broken 12 hr analog clock, right twice a day. The dump uses a 24 hr clock that is right maybe once a day.

If Dr. Schwartz undoes all the damage at CDC done by DOGE and the sinister Trumpf junta over the past 16 months and re-hires fired personnel, we'll know her heart is in the right place.

Hate to break it to you all but, just because she's a black woman doesn't mean she's not a Trump supporter.

Hate to break it to y'all but this phaggit ----- doesn't really like blacks, whites or Asians who don't agree with his overblown rectum. He cant go to his home country because they will kill him, but he loves America... This Iranian phaggit wants us to be just like his home without the execution of -----.

And he's living with an invalid who he pounds daily in hopes that the ------- will leave his under-achieving ass something to go on after he's dead. Because he's never done anything for himself.

I am not inclined to trust anyone put forward by this administration.
And she's not going to be able to get anything accomplished that her boss disagrees with.
