What is DEI? Republicans are using the term to attack Kamala Harris, but experts say it’s widely misunderstood

Following Harris’s emergence as a likely Biden replacement, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), in a post on X, called Harris a “DEI vice president” — referring to “diversity, equity and inclusion.” House Republicans have sought to counter such diversity initiatives in federal programs through the funding process.
And now the GOP House leadership is calling on heir members not to attack Ms. Harris on her racial identity. Any bets???

Major in whose estimation? Any idea how easy it is to post a YouTube video?

She was thoroughly vetted before she was selected as Biden's running mate in 2020 and these are "Trumped up" charges. For that matter she has a relatively clean reputation as AG and Senator from CA and some of us have followed her career. Of course the same people tried to tag Joe Biden as crooked.

Every accusation by the Trumpanzees is an admission of the very same guilt.

This article is from 2019 Bob and holds true today, a tactic invented by Tom Delay?

Why Republicans Play Dirty

Quote:
They fear that if they stick to the rules, they will lose everything. Their behavior is a threat to democratic stability.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/20/o...lay-dirty.html

Here is an AI generated summation.

Quote:
The Republican Party's recent tactics and strategies can be characterized as a controversial approach that aligns with the old saying "throw enough dirt and some will stick." This strategy involves engaging in aggressive, often unethical political maneuvers with the hope that some of these actions will yield desired results, even if they undermine democratic norms

It was on the world stage. It was real.
She has not denied the accusations.
These are sensitive issues, especially in the black community.

How nice of you to speak for the black community. At least you're staying away from the "she's only there because of DEI" trope.
