Am I only one who thinks he looks like a MAD magazine cover?
...and now I can't unsee it.
Stop using people’s work history at menial Jobs as way to attack them. Aoc was a bartender. All you’re doing is being an elitist.
His past work as a gardener or grocery store worker shouldn’t be the headline here. Looking down at the working class is a dick move no matter who you are.
I’m sure this guy has plenty of stupid and his leanings aren’t good. But don’t attack him for being working class
Thats really not the issue here and if you don't get that then I don’t know how to help you.

If he were the assistant director, or anything that's not a key leadership role, that might be true. But an agency head should have an appropriate resume and experience.

Even if this guy had served in military intelligence for 4 years he would still be too inexperienced for this role.
So embarrassing to see.
Boot licker extraordinaire.
Well, he has as much experience in his field as his peers.
he's a yes man, that trump is gonna steamroll over at trump's earliest. THank you for your attention to this matter.
Also will probably be a strawman, and fired or jailed when Trump fucks up, blaming others as always.

If you wanted more terrorist attacks on your soil in order to justify suspending the constitution, this is exactly how you’d go about it.
