Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) on Thursday called it “embarrassing as hell” that President Barack Obama is facing charges that his White House lacks diversity.
“It’s embarrassing as hell. We’ve been through all of
this with [2012 GOP presidential nominee] Mitt Romney. And we were very
hard with Mitt Romney with the women binder and a variety of things,”
Rangel said on MSNBC. “And I kind of think there’s no excuse with the
second term.”
The Obama administration has been criticized recently for not having enough diversity with its Cabinet appointees after The New York Times ran a photo
of Obama meeting with senior advisers in the Oval Office, the vast
majority of them white men. The White House responded by releasing its
own photo, which showed a much more diverse crowd of Obama’s top advisers.
