Loading ...Joe Biden Rewards Donors With Admin Positions in Broken Promise to Voters – Newsweek
It was an unspoken deal for generations of presidential hopefuls. A well-connected person helps get you elected, and in return, you make that person an ambassador somewhere exotic as a token of your gratitude. It was a practice that Joe Biden, then a candidate seeking to court progressives skeptical of his campaign, pledged to end.
According to a newly released report by the nonpartisan government watchdog Campaign Legal Center (CLC), Biden has not only continued the bipartisan practice of rewarding deep-pocketed donors with ambassadorships but embraced it, with nearly all of the United States’ chief foreign policy representatives abroad among the top contributors to Democratic causes over the past decade.
According to the report, all but one of the 55 non-career ambassadors his administration has appointed were donors either to his campaign or other Democratic causes over the past decade, with the total number of donations contributed either by them or their spouse averaging upwards of $400,000 per person. And in many instances, many of those Biden picked to fill those roles lacked the qualifications outlined under U.S. law to occupy the post.
Two factors, at least one of which is found in every Biden Administration personnel, including Biden himself. They are either completely unqualified, totally incompetent and in most cases, BOTH. That last category includes Joe. Just because you spend 30-40 years in politics, lying and taking bribes, doesn’t make you qualified to be President, even though that has been true of a number of previous Presidents as well.
