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.”

Shaub explained that he's harboring feelings of bitterness for stupidly backing Biden for president: "Do I sound bitter? HELL, YEAH, I’M BITTER! I’m the stupid moron who fell for his false promises. I wasn’t naive enough to think he’d be a transformative president. He told us he’d be plain vanilla. But I thought there was momentum behind his ethics promises. Boy was I stupid."  Shaub claimed that Biden has watered down ethics rules that prohibited appointees from participating in matters with former clients to avoid [[conflicts of interest]]: "The guidance also quietly said it doesn’t apply if a news channel paid you to appear on TV. You can work directly with them. But remember how mad we were when the Trump admin gave waivers to former [[Fox News]] personalities? Well, here we go again.<ref>https://t.co/QvGStfsU7h</ref>
