McConnell stated, “Yeah. Really, I haven’t checked. We don’t have a racial quota in my workplace, however I’ve had quite a lot of African-American staff over time, each female and male, together with speechwriter.”
One would assume that McConnell would know if there are any black ladies working in his workplace. He does go to his workplace, proper?
McConnell in some way gave the worst potential reply to the query. Mitch McConnell may have been trustworthy and stated that there are not any black ladies working in his workplace at the moment, however he has had each female and male black staff prior to now.
The query wasn’t even about Sen. McConnell’s hiring practices. The reporter was asking if he getting recommendation from any black ladies who work on his workers about Biden’s Supreme Courtroom nominee.
It wasn’t a gotcha query, and it positively mustn’t have required a stammering reply from the Senate Minority Chief.
Apparently, the simplest technique to ship a Republican senator reeling is to ask what number of black ladies work of their workplace.
