Remember early on in the Democratic primaries when there was genuine concern that candidate Joe Biden might have a #MeToo problem? Aside from the allegations of sexual assault from Tara Reade were all those videos we’ve seen of Biden invading the personal space of women and children, kissing them on the neck, and sniffing their hair? Biden even put out a video in April saying that social norms were changing and he’d be more mindful of respecting personal space in the future, the problem was that bad.
On Tuesday, Biden tapped Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge to be Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, but she won’t give him any points on the #MeToo scale if this opposition research published by the Washington Post in 2018 gets out:
Joe Biden's pick for HUD Secretary is Rep. Marcia Fudge, who wrote this letter in 2015 in support of a judge who beat his wife so bad she needed reconstructive plastic surgery. She called him "a good man who made a bad mistake."

But he assured Fudge that something like that would never happen again.
And to refresh your memory, this piece of oppo first came to light in 2018 when Marcia Fudge challenged Nancy Pelosi for Speaker.
h/t to Yamiche on this one https://t.co/xmDNN1DiGs

That’s right … she did challenge Nancy Pelosi for Speaker.
Slightly different quality of character & judgement than Ben Carson. ?

And how they tried to destroy Ben Carson.
Im old enough to remember when a black neurosurgeon wasn’t good enough to be HUD secretary.

“He was a good man who’s made a couple of bad mistakes…”?

Any comment today, @Yamiche ?
Or will this conveniently go down the memory hole?

but she is a female person of color which means she is a great choice because diversity.

She’s also a great champion of that “unity” Biden keeps tweeting about; from 2019:
Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) on the House floor: “many who support [Trump] are either racist, steeped in religious beliefs, ignorant, or as my mother used to say, just plain dumb. … [Trump's victory] measures the declining patriotic and moral values of the many citizens of America” pic.twitter.com/RzQNqDcNmL

She’s a Democrat in Cleveland.

The entire proposed administration is hot garbage. Good job everyone.

Biden appointing anyone is like me hiring people for my imaginary boutique I don’t own.

Fact:
Joe Biden didn’t pick anybody. He’s home eating a bowl of Cheerios ?

Good question above, though; will Yamiche Alcindor and the Washington Post memory-hole this since they got to keep Speaker Pelosi like they wanted?
