Her point is wrong from its first principles. There is no reason to believe the government will ‘reflect’ everyone any more than there is to believe any small group will (management, NFL offensive linemen, street musicians). The government is simply meant to ‘represent’ everyone. That is a very different matter. It actually stands to reason they will not reflect everyone since only people with certain attributes are likely to make it to Congress, the Presidency or the Supreme Court.
