The former Trump official joins a group of Republicans who have referred to the vice president as a diversity hire
Newsmax personality and former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka described Vice President Kamala Harris a “DEI hire” and “colored” in an interview on Tuesday.
In the segment, Gorka, himself accused of inflating his credentials as a terrorism expert, predicted that Biden will be forced to withdraw from the presidential race if major Democratic donors “pull the plug.”
Because without context it comes across as racist.
Which is exactly what these people are being when they are saying that she is a diversity hire. Basically that she was only hired because she is black/indian, and a woman, not because she is qualified.
He’s definitely saying it for racist reasons it just seems odd to me that people usually push back on that by saying race had nothing to do with it. It obviously did it’s just not the only factor like he’s saying it is.
Well there are idiots in this world. So I’m sure there are some idiots saying things like this. But most people also understand that she was qualified for the position.
