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.”

    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.

            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.

            I think Harris is perfectly capable. But the Democrats don’t think so because the Democrats are racist.

            I’m not the one who repeatedly sidelines Harris. Biden is.
