I don't think he's the least bad. He may not be as overtly incompetent as Kennedy or Mullen or Patel or that joke currently running Justice or Hegseth, but he did announce when he was confirmed that he would push policies that benefit Trump voters over Blue states.

Come to think of it, though, I can't think of a current Trump appointee who IS remotely competent.
