Have you heard? President-elect Joe Biden’s presumptive deputy chief of staff Jen O’Malley Dillon is stunning and brave because she has the honor of being the first woman who is both a hard worker and a mother.

So, if we’re understanding this correctly, hardworking liberal mothers like Jen O’Malley Dillon are stunning and brave, while hardworking conservative mothers like Amy Coney Barrett are a threat.
