    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.

            The something new being support for ruthless dictators? Is that the sort of new thing you think is good?

                Trump is literally threatening wars all over the planet right now. Are you really that ignorant about what is going on in your own country? What your own president is saying literally on a daily basis?

                  Have you seen the actual results? Very peaceful world in his first term.

                  We are less than a month after inauguration, he has already made good progress to try to end 2 wars that started when Biden was at the White House.
