And right on cue................Calls for Defense Secretary Austin to Resign Are Attacks on Black Success

[DigitalDrifter]

Wouldn't it be nice to always be able to pull the race card out, no matter how badly you fucked up?!!

There is no shortage of right-wing attacks on Black leaders right now. Claudine Gay was forced to resign as president of Harvard University following claims of plagiarism and the usual railing against diversity, equity, and inclusion. Vice President Kamala Harris is consistently deemed a diversity hire and said to be missing-in-action, although her schedule is chock full of public engagements. But the latest attack just may be the worst, with the first Black secretary of defense, Lloyd Austin, facing scrutiny following an emergency medical procedure at Walter Reed Medical Center

Calls for Defense Secretary Austin to Resign Are Attacks on Black Success

Austin's early detection and swift action saved his life. But that's not what conservatives or those who drank the anti-DEI Kool-Aid want you to know. Instead, they want to use his temporary incapacity to bring down the secretary.

Austin had a health scare, told his second in command where he was going, and had a check. It was only for a few days and he had someone taking care of things during his absence.

Nope, sorry, but that isn't a reason to remove someone from office. Hell.........we've had sick presidents before, as well as many Congress critters who were ill while serving. Nobody called for their resignation over it.

What success has Austin had that is being attacked?

Race card eh, who saw that coming?

I hate black success. Like Clarence Thomas for example.

I understand ass cancer pain is the worst next to a kidney stone.....I suspect Darth Austin did not give two shits about anything but reliving the pain.

It just goes to show how utterly dysfunctional the whole administration is to where someone could not pick up a phone and inform those that needed to know that a cabinet secretary was indisposed.

That administration is another version of Sesame Street. Different characters that unfortunately do not teach. It's a DEI party.

Read the OP's link. His second in command (Kathleen Hicks) was informed of what was going on, even though she was on vacation. He told her where he was going and more than likely told her of the seriousness and that she may have to take over.

Try again. Just this time, try to find facts and not what you want to hear.

That is PROVABLY FALSE. The administration has admitted that NO ONE knew what was going on.

Yes, Biden should fire Austin so the Republicans can stop the appointment of another important defense position like all the others they have held up.

Because America.
