Tulsi Gabbard Says 'Identity Politics Is Destroying Our Country' in Response to Biden Committing to Appoint Black Woman to SCOTUS

Former Democratic presidential candidate and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard says “identity politics is destroying our country,” in response to President Biden committing to appoint a black woman to the Supreme Court.

“Biden chose [Kamala] Harris as his VP because of the color of her skin and sex – not qualification. She’s been a disaster. Now he promises to choose Supreme nominee on the same criteria,” Gabbard, an outspoken critic of her political party, tweeted Monday.

In following on a 2020 campaign promise, Biden following the announcement of Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement last week, said he would appoint a black woman to the court.
