Becerra’s blunders were predictable enough. He was a token nominee, not in any way qualified for the job he was given. He had been California’s attorney general, but he had no expertise in public health.

Biden has remained curiously hell-bent on racial quotas. This meant cornering himself into picking the only black woman in the Senate as his running mate and choosing a Latino, literally any Latino with D next to his name, to lead whatever executive branch department remained available.

Presumably, the choice of Becerra, in particular, fell upon the perennially Way Too Online Ron Klain, who acts more like a prime minister than Biden’s chief of staff. In fitting fashion to flatter the ultra-woke Left, the only HHS adjacent experience Becerra had as the California attorney general was using his office to troll and terrorize proponents of religious liberty and the pro-life cause.
