              Do you think that maybe being pro-Assad and praising Russia for backing him might make her a poor choice for the role she’s been handed?

                Nope. She got 52 out of 53 Republican votes. If you only listen to left wing media, you probably won’t figure out why the Republicans don’t have issues with her gender and race.

                  What does the number of votes have to do with her support of a ruthless dictator like Bashar Assad? All that proves is that Republicans are fine with her supporting a horrible ruthless dictator that tortured and murdered countless people. You can make this about her race and gender all you like, but all you’re doing is ignoring the quotes of her saying literal things and support of both him and Russia in that article. Not that I’m surprised that you’re ignoring her actual words that she said. It makes it much easier to defend her if you ignore them. Not honest, but easier.

      Hey, what’s it like working at the troll farm, knowing that large language models are all of two seconds from ending your job? Do you have any other prospects lined up?

      Turns out when you opportunistically betray your party and join the other side, you tend to alienate the party you were with before! Who knew?

      Have we finally solved the mystery of why people dislike former revolutionary war general Benedict Arnold?
