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.”

    I think provisional measures (“bandaid” solutions) should always come with an “until ____ is passed”. Because yes, it shouldn’t be how we have to do things. But while there isn’t the political will to do/get the thing that would actually help the situation, something needs to be done to mitigate the harm that already exists. For example, I don’t want to have to drink water from a dirty stream. That shouldn’t be the standard. But if I find myself in a situation where it’s that or to die of dehydration… restricting/denying the Band-Aid is essentially condemning them to the original harm

      The problem with band aid solutions is that the actual necessary measures never happen because “well we put a band aid on it so it’s ok.”
