It’s official guys. Gina Haspel is the first female CIA director.
“Now, Gina [Haspel] will lead this agency into its next great chapter. Gina assumes the role of director at a crucial moment in our history. We are reasserting American strength and American confidence,” President Trump said.

Pres. Trump on Gina Haspel: "It took courage for her to say yes in the face of a lot of very negative politics and what was supposed to be a negative vote, but I'll tell you, when you testified before the committee, it was over." https://t.co/CiEeNTpEh8 pic.twitter.com/ZYSXP12bAD

Can you even BELIEVE how sexist the Trump administration is being right now? I mean, look at these MISOGYNISTIC men swearing her in. Pence is probably convulsing internally!

Joke’s aside…
Haspel: "I would be remiss if I did not also note the tremendous pride I take in being the first woman to serve as director. I would not be standing before you today if not for the remarkable courage & dedication displayed by generations of OSS and [CIA] women…" pic.twitter.com/YnJXZnQFVd

…it’s official.
I kinda love Sarah Sanders’ earlier take on this.
Historic day for our country: swearing-in ceremony for Gina Haspel, the first woman ever to serve as CIA director. Democrats are losing their war against women in the Trump administration.
