[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 4715936, member: 12952"] Beware of Biden's List of "first" appointees. Vice President Curtis, a Republican who served under President Herbert Hoover, was actually the first Native American member of the Cabinet, belonged to the Kaw Nation. Thus making him the "first person of color", back in 1928. He was also the first Native American [URL='https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/charles-curtis-of-kansas-becomes-first-native-american-senator']elected[/URL] to the Senate. On Wednesday, he picked Pete Buttigieg to be Secretary of Transportation, making him potentially the first gay man to be confirmed by the Senate to Cabinet position. However, Trump had already named Richard Grenell to the post of Acting Director of National Intelligence, making him the first gay Cabinet member. Biden received acclaim for appointing an all-female White House communications team, though President Donald Trump’s communications team is also led by an all-female senior staff. [/QUOTE]
