    It’s not like she’s doing these things behind his back

    Nope, but she IS doing it without his help, so he’s not due any of the credit.

    The progressive wing of the party might have pushed him into accepting her appointment, but he still appointed her and she’s kicking ass.

    Yes, SHE is kicking ass based on HER work and HER policy and enforcement choices, not his.

    Absent pressure from the progressive wing og the party, he would have chosen someone older and more palatable to his owner donors.

    He does NOT deserve credit for her work just because he relented to the pressure from people more pro worker than himself.

      He’s her boss and he appointed her, he does deserve credit for selecting her and sticking with her.

      Yes, SHE is kicking ass based on HER work and HER policy and enforcement choices, not his.

      And he’s her boss, so he deserves credit for hiring her and backing her.

        He’s her boss and he appointed her, he does deserve credit for selecting her and sticking with her.

        Other people selected her in spite of him and he relented and he’s refrained from firing someone without cause.

        Neither of those are achievements and just because he’s the boss doesn’t mean that he gets to take credit for HER work.

        And he’s her boss, so he deserves credit for hiring her

        Nope, see above.

        and backing her.

        Do you have any source on him actively backing her, beyond just not firing her without cause?

            That’s not actively backing her. You have a very distorted view of the relationship between a boss and an employee.

            Hiring her for a job she’s qualified for on the advice of others and then not firing her is a passive lack of opposition at best, NOT active support.
