Then that incident is a bit of "in the eye of the beholder." It is a nothingburger. If he is underwhelming, it has nothing to do with that seatholder.

Would it have been more underwhelming if a state department second assistant attache for African Issues held the seat? IMHO, it never would have made the news, let alone Twitter.
