Jennifer Rubin Slams Trump’s Nominees For Being Too White

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin went after President-elect Donald Trump’s recent cabinet nominees for being too White.

Rubin joined MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi for an interview on Saturday morning where they discussed the possibility of Senate Republicans blocking Trump’s nominees during the confirmation process.

She noted that there is some hope since Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has vowed to not confirm Trump’s nominees unless they go through a full FBI background check. Trump is reportedly not using the FBI to review his nominees.

Velshi then presented a slideshow of Trump’s nominees prompting Rubin to note that the major cabinet picks lack in diversity and are “1,000 shades of White.”

Here we have a little bit more diversity in the slide that you’re showing, but the first one, which was the major characters, yes, it’s a thousand shades of white. Secondly, there is a certain level of dysfunction and catastrophe that will sink these people. What happens if there is a terrorist attack, God forbid? What happens when there is a pandemic? The problem with being extreme, irresponsible, ignorant is when bad stuff happens, there’s no one to blame but you. {snip}
