Our new Ambassador is a braying ninny. From Legal Insurrection:
Biden Will Nominate LA Mayor Eric Garcetti as Ambassador to India
The last few times the Legal Insurrection team covered Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, we called for his resignation over the appalling homelessness crisis and reviewed his harsh COVID-restrictions.
However, incompetence and thuggish behaviors are Democratic Party qualifications. This could explain why Biden wants Garcetti to serve as ambassador to India, one of our foremost allies.
Garcetti, a close Biden ally who served as co-chair for the president’s 2020 campaign, had been considered for a cabinet position, but a sexual harassment lawsuit against one of his aides may have lessened his chances, Axios reported Tuesday.
In December, Garcetti said he turned down a potential position at the White House because of the coronavirus crisis.
“As the administration reached out to me about serving,” he said, “I let them know early this week that my city needs me now, and that I want to be here, and that I need to be here.”
Perhaps this is India’s punishment for its explicit support for President Donald Trump?
Perhaps - we do import a lot from India. Mahindra is the world's largest manufacturer of farm equipment and tractors. India's machine tools are a not as good as those from Taiwan but they are a hella lot better than those from China. I have a fly-press from India and love it. Lots of tooling for my lathe and mill too.
