Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said today that he will reconsider the ouster of a black USDA official in Georgia over comments she made that she didn’t use the “full force” of what she could do to help a white farmer.
“I am of course willing and will conduct a thorough review and consider additional facts to ensure to the American people we are providing services in a fair and equitable manner,” Vilsack said in a written statement.
