Talent

I’m sure each of these people were selected for talent, and in no way was anything approaching DEI was even a small factor.

The rest of the cabinet isn’t pictured. There are only three white dudes, and one of them is openly gay. One of the straight ones earned his spot because during his tenure as Special Agent-in-Charge, a controversial internal memo was leaked from the Richmond Field Office that identified “traditionalist Catholics” as potential violent domestic extremists. He was placed on administrative leave due to his role in the memo. The DOJ Inspector General found that while the memo violated the department’s own standards, it lacked any evidence of bias or malicious intent, but this was during the Biden admin, so take that with a grain of salt.

Nope. Talent, not DEI and politics.
