Past years, rule seems to be put people with our dark skin on battle frontlines to do the dirty work. Remember CEO Paraga Agrawal, and Vijaya Gadde who threw Trump out of Twitter? We’ll soon have a Patel replace Ned Price as ‘Voice of America’. Worked with notorious Rep. Pramila Jayapal. Promising!
