On Tuesday, Trump tweeted photos of a briefing he'd received on the new coronavirus spreading out of China.
"We will continue to monitor the ongoing developments," the President said in his post. "We have the best experts anywhere in the world, and they are on top of it 24/7!"
Who are these experts? They're largely the same sorts of white men (and a couple women on the sidelines) who've dominated the Trump administration from the very beginning.

This is why people increasingly hate the "press."

Judging by color of skin, not by content of character....or merit. What would Dr. King say about today's Left and their insistence upon racial quotas?

Well of course it's more important to have diversity than to have the most qualified people on the team.

No problem we'll have a few declare that they identify as whatever you want them to be then after we are all safe, they can declare they are what they actually are. Problem solved. In case you adopt my plan feel free to let me know what kind of critter I need to be and by golly that's how I'll feel.

Brandon Tensley needs that group of honkie scientists to study his TDS too, although I think science will cure cancer before they could cure that racist idiot. Seriously, CNN?

This is what they are worried about? Diversity? A deadly virus is spreading around the world, and CNN is worried about diversity.
In all the apocalyptic end of world sci-fi movies, the media never worried about diversity.
Picture it! Russia launches a barrage of nukes at the US, CNN comes on the air to decry the lack of diversity at the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Thats how idiotic the left has gotten.

Could someone please explain to me what skin color has to do with expertise in world health and disease control? Should we really be addressing a global health crisis with affirmative action as our chief concern?

I don't care how diverse this task force is. Do they know what they are doing?
I am sick and tired of the constant bowing and scraping at the progressive altar of diversity.

This was the predictable (and predicted) result of preferential admissions and AA hiring practices so loved and promoted by the loony left. When the whip comes down only those with provable merit and skill can save your leper-licking, elitist, limousine liberal azz.
White men are hated (envied) for their accomplishments and contributions to civilization since.........forever.
When other cultures/genders achieve similar results they do not hesitate to celebrate their particular 'tribe' or segment of society......yet 'white men' are called upon to stay, the phukk, shut up about their abilities, capacities and spirit of adventure and discovery.
For white men this is truly the purgatory planet.
Work hard, study hard and get reviled because of your skin color.
....then get put down by leftists because of your 'white privilege' !

When saving lives is involved, I really do not care about the race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or shoe size of the experts grappling with the issue at hand. I just want the best and brightest dealing with it.
So . . . if a transexual black lesbian who prays to Allah while pursuing a foot fetish can solve the coronavirus problem, more power to that person!

Far too important to hand to any but the most qualified.
Get busy and work to be qualified, diverse persons...

Yes, when it comes potentially preventing 1/8 of the world being hospitalized for a couple of months and 5% of that 1/8 ending up dead, diversity is the first thing I thought about, not merits.

The 1st time one of these twits needs life saving surgery, someone needs to insure that the surgeon and medical staff are all AA people.

Thank goodness the Trump administration is not using diversity as a criteria for selecting experts on something as serious as the coronavirus. If anything ever called for merit-based selection, this is it.

I see. You want the divine power of Diversity to do with the Coronavirus what it has done for business, education and government in this country, close both ears, one eye and put half its brain to sleep. Good luck with that.

"Largely the same" meaning they are diverse. I always believe the opposite to whatever CNN reports.

According to CNN, to heck with getting the best talent to tackle a medical emergency. There are "woke" boxes to be checked.
Reminds me of a recent Babylon Bee article about Harvard School of Medicine eliminating all medical knowledge and technique developed by white men from their curriculum due to wokeness.

Although CNN was unable to obtain an interview with the actual virus or a representative, it is widely accepted that a virus which infects humans regardless of race color gender or political affiliation would be greatly offended by a team so lacking in diversity. A source close to the virus said after reflection the virus might decide not to participate at any level.

The make up of genitals and skin color are more important to CNN than expertise in combating the virus? Really?

Unless their team included at least one person who died from the virus, 'Progressives' will condemn it for lacking representative diversity.
