Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., speculated that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will be the next Cabinet member to leave the Trump administration, citing President Trump’s pattern of only firing women. White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers dismissed McBride’s remarks, questioning her understanding of what a woman is. McBride and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., expressed concerns about Trump’s handling of his Cabinet and alleged misconduct by male officials.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Rep. McBride and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez made their comments in response to a shake-up in the Trump administration, with several high-profile firings and resignations in recent weeks. The White House has stood by male officials accused of misconduct, while female officials have been let go. The pattern has raised questions about Trump’s treatment of women in his administration. The back-and-forth between the White House and Democratic lawmakers has become a familiar ritual.
It’s a performance we’ve seen before, with each side playing their expected roles.
