When you have dug yourself into a hole, put down the shovel.

Jim Clyburn. It was about elections and horsetrading. Clyburn gave Biden support, Biden picked from a number of highly qualified African American women. Kamala now is mostly looking at white males. Why? Not DEI but because that is the group Democrats most need under their big tent to win an election. Not DEI but political. Frankly saying a political deal was DEI because the deal happened to involve a black woman is racists and sexist. It is about the power of votes. It is about political power. Shame on you.

Nothing wrong with DEI hires. But when you label political power that way it is because you can't see. Your eyes are blind with rot.

No, Usha Vance didn’t call Kamala Harris a ‘DEI hire’ on X

We found no credible news reports that Usha Vance, wife of Republican vice presidential nominee and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, called Vice President Kamala Harris a "DEI hire" in an X post.

The X account impersonating Usha Vance, which has been suspended, incorrectly said Usha Vance lives in San Diego. Usha was born there, but the Vances now have homes in Cincinnati and Alexandria, Virginia.
