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.”

    ?? 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.

      Wouldn’t be a DEI hire because he would be white. The commentor you’re replying to is just showing his racism.

      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.
