are outraged that Biden made such a promise. Several of them — online and over the airwaves — framed it as an unearned commitment that prioritizes race and gender over nominees’ qualifications.that Biden’s promise amounted to “discrimination,” and said it would suggest his picks “were qualified by virtue of filling a quota — an unfortunate implication for the ultimate nominee.”
Conservative attempts to frame Biden’s upcoming nomination as an affirmative action hire, and to suggest they dislike affirmative action hires, are laughably insincere.
