How dare Washington DC interfere with how things are done in the Hawaiian Islands by appointing people who are not now cogs in the Dem party machine? They might upset the System by making it fair instead of working to promote the interests of the racial groups that run things now by dividing up the loot into shares based on race, you know, Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiian, white. And who are accustomed to shuffling federal funds around to keep their System going. Now there is a risk of federal funds not being tightly controlled from an outsider who doesn't understand the way things are done way out here, that DJT maverick and his ag appointees. They must be threatened to make sure they do not rock the boat.
