Harris has said she'll put a Republican in the Cabinet, and it's had some bad reaction like this.

Her campaign started with the "fuck you" attitude that signaled the Dems finally understood the post-Trump landscape. And then it transformed into the 1990s playbook like this. I really hope they know what they're doing because I'm skeptical that his gets her even one additional vote on balance.
As others have said though, I think this is a mistaken attitude. Lots of people like bipartisanship where it's possible. It's not "1990's playbook". The Veterans Association brief is something where a sane Republican with military experience could be an asset.
The tradition of bipartisan appointments in the US (admittedly, not always to the Cabinet) is pretty substantial, not at all limited to one era.
