former Obama administration director of the Office of Government Ethics Walter Shaub implied that those Democrats who hyperventilated about [[Ivanka Trump]] and [[Jared Kushner]] working as unpaid advisers should apply the same benchmark to the current White House occupant.  “I’m sorry, I know some folks don’t like hearing any criticism of [Biden]. But this royally sucks. I’m disgusted. A lot of us worked hard to tee him up to restore ethics to government and believed the promises. This is a a real “f–k you” to us—and government ethics.”<ref>https://twitter.com/waltshaub/status/1405882687026520065</ref>

Deputy press secretary Andrew Bates told the ''Washington Post'': “The president has instituted the highest ethical standards of anyone to ever hold this office. And he’s proud to have staffed the most diverse administration in American history with well-qualified public servants who reflect his values.”  Shaub responded: “The White House’s defense that they had the minimum qualifications is total BS. The issue isn’t whether they were qualified (some weren’t). It’s that a WH that promised diversity is giving these [[white privilege|privileged white kids]] with connected mommies and daddies prime jobs over others!”  Shaub wrote that “Even the f-ing head of presidential personnel, who is supposed to be keeping them honest, has a child who’s a recent college grad working in the administration. And the spouse of the White House chief of staff, for crying out loud. This is ridiculous. What a f—–g failure.”
