“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,” she said in an early excerpt of the interview set to air Thursday evening. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

Why a Republican specifically? “Reaching across the aisle” is a wasted effort with these people, they’ll still spit in your face. Get the most qualified people for the position and don’t consider their political leanings as the primary factor for hiring them on. Although it is kind of funny that she’s considering a Republican as a DEI hire.
