Rachel Levine Is Not the ‘First Female Four-Star Admiral’ … Because He’s a Male
By Matt Margolis
In an apparent attempt to compensate for being everything the radical left hates (an old white heterosexual male), Joe Biden has been a sucker for symbolic appointments and nominations. Before we knew who he’d pick as his running mate, we knew it would be a minority female. Since taking office, when various positions have been filled there has been an abundance of “the first _____ to serve as _____” in the accompanying press releases, fulfilling his pledge for a diverse administration for the sake of diversity.
The Biden administration has taken this pledge to the extreme at times, such as his nominating of Rachel Levine to be assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services. Levine, who previously served as secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, was undoubtedly chosen solely because he is a man who thinks he’s a woman.
Why? Because transgender issues are all the rage right now to the radical left. Even if you forget the absurdity of choosing a man who thinks he’s a woman to serve as a top health official in the federal government, Levine’s tenure at the Pennsylvania Department of Health was controversial and likely would have disqualified a “cis-gendered” individual from being considered.
Last year, Levine faced calls for his resignation over “the horrific results of the [health] department’s COVID-19 policy” on nursing homes and long-term care facilities. He also removed his mother from such a facility while others were not able to do so.
