What once was Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is now Equity & Restorative Justice.
Phillips removed a reference to promoting “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” on his campaign website after one of his top financial backers, a leading DEI opponent, prodded Phillips publicly on the subject.
That donor, the hedge fund investor Bill Ackman, has at different times called Phillips’s language about DEI a “mistake” and said the candidate was “getting educated” on the issue. Writing on X, he said several times that he expected Phillips would revise his campaign website’s reference to DEI.
Earlier this week, the Minnesota representative’s campaign took out the term DEI from the platform section of its website and replaced it with “Equity & Restorative Justice.” The language under the header remains the same, with Phillips’ campaign saying he believes, “We are a rapidly-diversifying country, and it is that diversity, which makes America great.”

And evil piece of shit? Who opposes the label Diversity and Inclusion?
A guy who leads a campaign to fire a three female university presidents.
Frankly, I knew Philips was a shitty centrist, but that Ackman was one of his leading donors and he caved to him on weak ass inclusive slogans really hammers it home.
Radicalized hedge fund managers, lately.

literally never heard of this man
Well, that takes him from utterly unknown not-even-a-longshot to…also apparently a readily manipulated and painfully obviously beholden to his donor irrelevance status.
Who?
Read the article.
Said “Fuck this fucking fuck” to myself.
Will forget his name by the morning.
