The White House has unveiled a new lectern in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, and it’s causing quite a stir. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre presented the lectern, touting it as a “blend of modernity and tradition.” But hold on a minute, there’s a problem, folks. It’s not about how the lectern looks, it’s about how it was named that’s got the feathers ruffled.
The press secretary proudly declared that the lectern would be named in honor of Alice Dunnigan and Ethel Payne, the first two black women in the White House press corps. Now, don’t get them wrong, these ladies certainly deserve recognition for their accomplishments. They were trailblazers who faced discrimination and fought against it, and that’s commendable. But here comes the kicker, folks. It’s another example of the Biden administration’s obsession with identity politics.

You see, by always focusing on race, gender, and sexual orientation, the Biden administration cheapens the honor. It’s like they’re checking a box, making sure they cover all the bases of intersectionality. This lectern naming is just another way they’re pandering to the Democratic Party’s base. It’s become a pattern, folks. Whether it’s picking Vice President Kamala Harris because she’s black, Jean-Pierre because she’s lesbian, or Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine because he’s a man claiming to be a woman, it’s all about hitting those diversity quotas.
Now, here’s the real kicker, folks. The Biden White House has made it clear that when it comes to honoring individuals, their race, gender, or sexual orientation is more important than their actual achievements. It’s like giving the boss’ son a promotion or letting the coach’s kid play every inning. The unfortunate consequence is that true merit is being dismissed in favor of favoritism. It’s a sad state of affairs, and it’s all thanks to President Biden’s never-ending obsession with intersectional representation.
And that, my friends, is how President Biden has turned what should have been a lovely gesture into yet another divisive move. It’s a shame, folks, but that’s the state of affairs in the Biden administration.
