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.”

    DEI is just a slur now. It’s their new broad-stroke insult for anyone who isn’t a straight cis white man.

    Consider the people who, after the ship hit the bridge, referred to “Baltimore’s DEI mayor.”

      Yup, they latch onto concepts that they don’t really understand but know are opposed to white superiority: woke, DEI, CRT. Then they use them as a catch all for “bad thing.”
