I know your point. It’s not subtle. It also discounts that he was a rising star in politics. It’s the same thing we saw with Ben Carson.

I think it’s a low blow to suggest that either were hired to virtue signal diversity.

I much prefer a later comment where you attempt to lay out a case why he was bad at his job for things he did or didn’t do. Well at least that’s what I think the sources you provided did.

I don't care that he's gay. It has zero impact one way or the other. My point is he's bad at his job. He was not chosen in good faith for this position based on his qualifications to do this job. Why was he chosen to be secretary of transportation when he has no training, experience, or background in transportation? I think we both know the answer.
