    Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is getting called out on social media after she called out White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre a “DEI hire,” a term that many consider racist.

    No, we don’t consider it racist. It is in fact racist, and in this case both racist and sexist. That is the entire point Boebert said it. Why else would she have used the term, indeed.

            Some people might say that Boebert herself is a DEI hire, but that is not true. Uneducated, hate-filled dullards are not considered diverse candidates.
