Yes, Kamala is a DEI hire. Shouldn’t the Left be happy about that?
Inequality,DEI,Kamala Harris,Race And Racism
The Left gets in high dudgeon every time someone calls Vice President Kamala Harris a diversity, equity, and inclusion hire. Joe Scarborough, whose morning show on MSNBC sets the agenda for the wokeati, railed that it was racist — right before his guest, Katty Kay, called former President Donald Trump “old, white, and male.”
But none of these truths should offend supporters of either candidate.
Trump is 78, white, and famously male.
As for Harris, if she or anyone else has a problem with her being associated with DEI, they should take it up with President Joe Biden himself. It was Biden, after all, who, when he was first casting about for a running mate, said he wanted a woman of color.
