Biden Picks Haaland For Interior Secretary; First Native American Cabinet Member | Rachel Maddow
How excitinggg!!!!
What is wrong with you?
This is a very diverse cabinet. 35 generations is a lot
@INSECT BITE *-*
Get over it European
-COMANCHE NATION
@CHIEF TAHCHAWWICKAH History is repeating itself and you are supporting a fall of a nation.
Yeah Pete Buttigeig knows as much about Transportation as Dr Jill Biden knows about performing surgery.
@Follow The White Rabbit
No free land and slaves this time.

@Michael Saylor . I think he knows just as much as trump when he became president
I don’t care about color of anyone’s skin.
@Anne Jackson You just contradicted your own point. The culture/where they come from, and how they grow up matters. Their life experiences. NOT the color of their skin. Your skin color doesn’t guarantee you a certain upbringing. Assuming it does is racist and ignorant. There are white kids who grow up poor, and black kids who’s parents are in the NBA, or doctors. There are Mexicans who are scraping by, and here illegally. Others own businesses, and have families that have been here so long they don’t remember the struggle to become a citizen. See the difference? The world’s more complex then skin color.
You don’t but a lot of companies that hire do.
WELL SAID!!!
If you didn’t, you wouldn’t say that.
@CHIEF TAHCHAWWICKAH quit fronting!!!
Good, I’m so glad to hear this. I’ve always been a supporter of Native Americans issues and wish her the best of luck in Biden cabinet. BTW I’m 100% British going back before 1400’s, but always interested in American Native history and Black History (if thats the correct terminology these days)
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Brave are those WHO walk along
They are called sheep…
💙💙💙💯💯💯
35th generation New Mexican? That’s cool.
What nominating a native american for the position actually make since.
IT IS ABOUT F******G TIME!
This is the only video coming up under my recommended for “news” today where the comment section hasn’t either been blocked or been overrun by lunatics.
So progressive. So pandering. wow. I’m genuinely shocked.
(not really)
@Meliodas Pandering? That our ‘representative’ government should have Native Americans in cabinet positions? Shame on you!
@Nancy you are so blind to your own ignorance. It’s not the fact that someone of some race or some culture gets a job. It’s the fact that you make it a big deal. It’s not. That is the point. Shame on you….
@Bald Eagle “Pandering”…that is what I was responding to…
@Nancy exactly. You still don’t see it.
Im from the Caribs (Kalina) of South America, Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean. I want to congratulate Deb Haaland for achieving her goals and want to thank Biden for giving her the opportunity to work for his cabinet. We wish you all the strength and luck and may you be an inspiration to our community!
That’s what I’m talkin about!! Yeah!!
It has taking SO….long!
The native Americans were the first care takers of this land and I can’t think of a better person to to manage it now. A step in the right direction.
Way to pigeon hole Native Americans. Do you even listen to yourself? SMH…
Yes a BIG DEAL finally, the 1st nation
What an incredible person
If the Diversity of Mediocrity is your Goal—-Biden nailed his picks. Stale=Hue-Intellect². S=H-I². It’s the theory of BANALitivity.
*It’s about time!* Everyone needs a voice and be represented!
