In a clip of a CNN interview scheduled to air in full Thursday night, Harris said she was committed to welcoming diverse points of view.

“I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences,” Harris said. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

    but ignoring he is also anti healthcare, in support of targeting sanctuary cities, supported the assassination of Soleimani, is a global warming denier or at the very least against any action to slow it down and I could go on.

    How about for Kinzinger “Secretary of Veteran Affairs”? A quick google search says that Kinzinger is an Air Force veteran (an officer even) and even the most staunch anti-healthcare advocate seems to support healthcare for ex-service members through the VA. All of those problems you listed seem to be insulated from Veterans Affairs.

      Why give him any power if you disagree so much given how much he is for deregulation I wouldn’t trust him to follow any policy. Not to mention for example while for a republican he is good on LGBT issues though that isn’t saying much he has a history of opposing a lot of bills and claiming to do so in order to protect religious freedoms not really explaining in a clear way what that means.

      The officer part makes it worse actually.

      That’s like saying “He was a manager (a middle manager even)”
