Oh it's fine to critique the nomination. I admittedly don't know a ton about Vilsack, which is why I didn't mention him in the post. But the author of that article has a clear agenda and suggested a lot of stupid things.
It's a lazy hit piece. They get mad that Marcia Fudge was nominated for HUD because that's racist or something and claim she was "pressured" to accept the role without evidence. This moron then proceeds to call Lujan Grisham a person of color, which is just absolutely fucking aggravating and far more egregious than nominating someone to a post that she accepted lol. Also weird to hit Biden for the "stereotypical" Fudge nomination after he just finished nominating the first ever Black secretary of defense.

This has been suggested as a possible reason for why the virus has not really spread well in East Asian countries. Just a theory at this point, however.
