Really, which made-up government jobs did Biden hire "Influencers" into?

None, because you're lying, which is obviously normal for you.

The premise that Biden staffed government jobs with influencers is incorrect. While the Biden administration and campaign extensively recruited social media influencers as unpaid partners to promote policy and reach young voters, these individuals were not hired into government positions.

Role: Influencers served as external content creators and amplifiers, not as White House employees or officials.
Access: They received special access, such as briefings at the White House, invitations to events, and direct communication with administration officials, but held no official government titles.
Contrast: This differs from a recent Pentagon report where retired military officers with large social media followings were placed in actual civilian government roles (e.g., "Special Government Employees") without disclosing their influencer status.
