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.”

    She’s not a hire.

    She was chosen by Joe Biden to be his running mate, after Biden had already cinched the Democrat nomination.

        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.

                Not murican here, just to prove your point. I remembered Sarah Palin as a stupid VP ticket, but forgot who was the president candidate.

                I hope I’m wrong and that history will repeat itself and dude picks another Sarah Palin.

            I mean, that just kinda proves the point further?

            Anybody that’s gonna vote for Trump is gonna vote for him regardless of who his VP is. The VP is only TeChNiCaLlY an elected office, because 99.99% of people are voting for the president and not the VP.

              At this point, we should be voting on who is chosen as VP. It’s almost certain either one will be the 49th. (That is, if we don’t go full monarchy and get some Drumpf spawn as 49th “president”)

                At this point, I think the best thing would be for Biden to run, get re-elected, and then die early in his term to make Kamala Harris the President. I’m not super thrilled about her but I think she’s better than just about any other option we’ve got at the moment.

                I just don’t trust this fucking electorate to vote for a Black, Indian, Woman for president.

      President and Vice President are elected as a team. I’m sorry that you see that as her “not getting elected” because you are wrong.

      She was elected Vice President. She is first in line to be President.

      Ask Sarah Palin if the VP name on the ticket matters.
