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.”
They’ve watered it down to the point of meaninglessness. She’s not a hire. She’s elected. You can’t even call it DEI unless you poll every American about why they voted for her.
Spoiler: because she was attached to the ticket.
She’s not a hire.
She was chosen by Joe Biden to be his running mate, after Biden had already cinched the Democrat nomination.
Thank you for elaborating without contradicting.
I mean, it’s a pretty key difference that she was only elected in that she was attached to the ticket that people were actually voting for.
she was only elected in that she was attached to the ticket that people were actually voting for.
¿¡ they came as a pair. if either one were so completely distasteful, neither one would have elected. the “ticket” included everyone on it.
Right… and no matter who the other guy picks they will still vote for him.
The very existence of Sarah Palin might give that theory a run for it’s money. She almost single-handedly tanked McCain’s election chances back when people doing bizarre and outrageous shit would actually convince voters that they were *checks notes* unqualified for the position.

Biden himself gives the impression that Harris is a diversity hire when he repeatedly sidelines her and refuses to step aside and let her take over.
Wow, it’s like an NYT Pitchbot headline: “Trump supporters are unapologetic, mask-off bigots. Here’s why that reflects poorly on Biden.”
My point is, are the Republicans wrong? Is she not a diversity hire? Biden chose her, and he certainly acts like she’s a diversity hire.
If Biden didn’t pick her as a diversity hire, he should act like it.
Edit: Also, the fact that Democrats aren’t all rallying around Harris suggests that Democrats see her as a diversity hire.
They want Buttigieg. They want Newsome. They want Whitmer. They want everyone but Harris.
?? Because he won’t step down, the VP is a DEI hire?!
So if the VP was an old white man, and Biden wouldn’t step down, still a DEI hire? Ok.
You’re argument that Biden isn’t racist is to invent a hypothetical scenario in which Biden isn’t racist??
I know that Biden is racist because I’ve seen the way he doesn’t give a shit about the Palestinians.
If Harris ever challenged him for the presidency, he’d probably drone strike her.
