    Putting aside the total nonsense hit "journalism" going on here -- conservatives used to believe, and I still believe, that there is absolutely no shame in being a servant, or a caterer, any blue collar labor. Honest work is honest work -- good service is a skill, and hard to find, and not badly paid, these days.

      Apparently so. I'm sure there will be no public outcry if the White House now announces that it will only hire white people for all staff roles. 🙄

    Also... regardless, yes, V.P. Harris employs people of a swarthy complexion. There seems to be a bit of a discussion needed here regarding opinions of service employment, perhaps?
