How Kamala Climbed the Peaks of DEI
The media are hopping mad about Republicans referring to Kamala Harris as a “DEI hire.”
Here’s some of the teeth-gnashing:
— ABC News: “Kamala Harris Faces Racial ‘DEI’ Attacks”

— NPR: “Republicans Call Kamala Harris a ‘DEI Hire’ as Attacks on Her Gender and Race Increase”
— Slate magazine: “The DEI Smear Against Kamala Harris.”
Apparently, it’s racist to notice that DEI exists.
It would be like slave owners denying there was any such thing as slavery, as their slaves served them iced tea and grits. Slavery? What’s that?

The most easily fooled Republican, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, took all this to heart and lectured his fellow Republicans not to use the “DEI attack.” (“Totally stupid.”) His argument is: “Look, I disagree with DEI, but she is the vice president of the United States. She is the former U.S. senator.”
So was Dan Quayle. I don’t remember liberals stoically refusing to sneer about Quayle being a silver spoon, golf-loving WASP.
May we mention that, as California’s attorney general, Harris was the one who deceived voters into passing propositions that unleashed a criminal hellscape on the state? That she donated to a bail fund to spring BLM
