Is Tapper saying this is bad, or is he saying that it's inconsistent with Biden's rhetoric around unity & healing? Seems to be the latter to me.
In any event, I can't imagine that any high level decision making members of the Trump administration are going to have any jobs or roles in a future Democratic administration, especially when it comes to domestic administration members (State dept is a little different... historically, State dept. has low turnover in foreign service roles, it's really not until just this Administration that the State Dept. got gutted, and most of the positions were never replaced, but I'd expect the Trump flunkies will all be washed out). I think that a Biden administration should keep with the words of unity, healing, moving ahead, but obviously don't extend jobs to former Trump administration enablers. I suspect that's what they'll do.
I think there's some people from the Trump Administration who were wrongfully fired who should be considered re-hired in the State Dept or DoD. Alexander Vindmann and Fiona Hill, for instance. They were State Dept. (or DoD?) diplomats/employees during the Trump Administration but spoke out about the corruption and illegality in the Administration, and they suffered consequences for it.
