Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin delayed and possibly permanently derailed the process of putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill so President Donald Trump wouldn’t put the kibosh on the process altogether and create a public relations nightmare, the New York Times reported.
Everyone from Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) to a group of House Democrats has been requesting that the process be hastened.
Mnuchin claims that the delays come from installing security features in the bill, though an expert told the Times that those are usually embedded in the imagery, meaning that in the normal course of development, the design and security implementation would occur simultaneously.
Trump has called the idea to replace former President Andrew Jackson with Tubman pure “political correctness.” Mnuchin has not committed to putting Tubman on the bill eventually, a redesign chosen by former President Barack Obama.
Sigh. From the NYT article…
Why they couldn’t say outright that it’s not about keeping Jackson on the bill (let alone whether Trump even knows who Jackson was), it’s about keeping the black female off of it.
The fear emanating from Trump, Mnuchin, and company is now visible to the human eye
The guy Kamala Harris let skate, again?
“A fellow populist” - Seriously NYT? SERIOUSLY?
Why not “A fellow racist”? How does that sound?
