According to members of Donald Trump’s team, the president-elect’s staff will be a very diverse group — although the few people Trump has tapped so far do not demonstrate this, as they have been primarily older white men with very conservative and even racist views.
Spokesman Jason Miller said Trump’s picks “will be very broad and diverse, both with the Cabinet and the administration.” Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, also emphasized Trump’s focus on diversity.
“And diversity means meeting with people across the aisle who are traditionally more Democratic, who are coming together and wanting to offer him advice, perhaps vie for a spot in his Cabinet,” she said.
