Yesterday The Epoch Times<\/a> reported that Joe Biden has chosen Anita Dunn as a senior advisor for his incoming administration.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Anita Dunn resigned from her post as the White House communications director in 2009 after Fox News surfaced a clip of her praising Mao as one of her \u201cfavorite political philosophers.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Zedong and Mother Teresa\u2014not often coupled with each other, but the two people I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point, which is, you\u2019re going to make choices; you\u2019re going to challenge; you\u2019re going to say, \u2018Why not?\u2019; you\u2019re going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before,\u201d Dunn said in an address to the St. Andrew\u2019s Episcopal High School in Washington in 2009, according to CNN<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the clip surfaced, Dunn said the Mao reference was an attempt at irony which fell flat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately she will fit in just fine with the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Dunn was the senior advisor to Biden\u2019s 2020 presidential campaign. She was named as the co-chair of the Biden-Harris transition team in September last year. She served as the chief strategist for Barack Obama\u2019s 2008 presidential campaign and went on to become the White House Communications Director. In 2012, she helped Obama prepare for the presidential debates. She also worked in a number \u201cof roles in and out of government for former Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle and former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley,\u201d according to the transition team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein reached out to Dunn for advice when he was facing allegations of sexual abuse, according to The New York Times. Dunn helped Weinstein strategize and did not charge for her advice, the newspaper reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With people like this in the government, what could go wrong?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
