Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin is being ridiculed for calling Donald Trump's cabinet nominations '1,000 shades of white'.
Rubin, 62, a former conservative commentator at the Jeff Bezos-owned paper, now largely advocates for Democrats and on her podcast, 'Jen Rubin's Green Room.'
Speaking on MSNBC Rubin did not hold back as she ripped Trump's nominations over the color of their skin.
'Many of these people including Tulsi Gabbard have backgrounds that would never make them eligible for any government post, let alone for secretaries of these important government agencies,' Rubin began.
'But I do think there are a couple of things going on. First, I have to comment, when you put up all of those faces it was a thousand shades of white. Have you noticed that?'
It prompted MSNBC host Ali Velshi to laugh out loud at Rubin's comment.
'I actually felt that as I was reading them we should certainly circle a few of them so we can say this is the one I'm talking about now,' joked Velshi, who is of Indian heritage.
But Rubin was not done with her excoriating judgment on Trump's recent picks.
'Secondly, there is a certain level of catastrophe and dysfunction that will sink these people. What happens if there is terrorist attack, God forbid? What happens if there is a pandemic?' Rubin asked.
'The problem with being extreme, irresponsible, ignorant, is when bad stuff happens no one to blame but you.
'The good news is that there's people may not get everything they want, but the bad news is that a lot of bad stuff may happen to a lot of innocent people because of them.'

Official "conservative columnist" Jennifer Rubin has a history of hating on whites and Christians.
Her column from 2021:
The census reminds us America isn’t static. The GOP needs to deal with it.
The 2020 Census shows that while Whites remain the largest ethnicity group in the United States, the demographic decreased by 8.6 percent over the past decade. Those identifying as multiracial, by contrast, grew by a stunning 276 percent. Hispanic, Black and Asian American populations all grew at a rapid rate, too. Now, the country is nearly 19 percent Hispanic, 12 percent Black and 6 percent Asian American...
That reality has, of course, freaked out a significant share of White Christians who do not see “their America” as predominate. It was never “theirs” to begin with, and the assumption that something is amiss if White Christians are not in charge is the essence of white supremacy and Christian nationalism. It is also fundamentally un-American; our country is defined, as President Biden rightly says, by an “idea.”
