From the Atlanta Daily World:
Photo: Getty Images A GOP lawmaker is facing backlash after referring to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as a “DEI hire.” On Tuesday (July 2), Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert ® suggested that Jean-Pierre was only hired to fill a diversity quota. “I couldn’t care less about what @PressSec has to say today,” Boebert tweeted. … Continued
The post GOP Lawmaker Slammed For Calling White House Press Secretary ‘DEI Hire’ appeared first on Atlanta Daily World.
So DEI now just means the job went to a non-white, non-GOP, not-male person.
Convenient.
They’ve been using “dei” instead of racial slurs for a while. It’s all a part of their toxic plan.
It’s not even a new idea. It’s just the same weathered and worn “a minority couldn’t possibly have the proper education to do this job,” from uneducated idiots who… *checks notes… definitely don’t have the education to do the same job and spend all their time trying to reduce access to education to minorities.
It’s still the slaveowners attitude of purposefully keeping them uneducated and then judging them for their… lack of education. It’s what stupid selfish controlling people have done to others for centuries, kick them down, and then berate them for having been kicked down. They don’t like smart people who can talk back to them so they try to make sure they are the smartest person in the room by purposefully keeping everyone else dumb.
When everyone in a political party is vying to be the smartest person in the room by controlling information and making everyone else dumber, you end up with a joke shitshow like the US Republican party, which stands for nothing other than bullying and willful ignorance.
Isn’t it amazing that the people advocating for a “STricT mERITocrACY” conspicuously ignore their meritocracy is very monochromatic?
Are you denying she’s horrible at her job? She’s quite possibly the worst-spoken press secretary ever.
I too would think that, had I just woken up from a coma and not known about the four press secretaries under Trump.
Edit: oh wait, the felonious traitor had five:
The Mooch, Spicer, Sarah “FuckTheCountry” Sanders, Stephanie “Never gave one press conference” Grisham and Kayleigh “My cross necklace proves how KKKhristian I am” McEnany.

The Mooch was easily my fav press secretary from that shit show.
FYI , if you haven’t seen it yet, he’s one of the whales on “Killer Whales”, that crypto Shark Tank knock off. The show is wild, everyone talking shit about the products, but still saying they’d support it. And the prize isn’t actually any sort of money for the schemes, just a mentorship with the whales. It’s absolutely great to watch with a bag of popcorn.
Anto-DEI has always been a dog whistle for racism and sexism. Conservatives will screech DEI if a woman or person of color does literally anything.
That’s what it always has meant. It threatens the heteronormative Christian patriarchal power structure to have anyone but a white man in charge of anything. And it doesn’t matter that a woman is saying it because it’s a woman who doesn’t understand that the leopards will eat her face too.
“Politically correct” is old news, “woke” is losing steam, so now we move to “DEI”.
Just like how it used to be “Shell shock”, then it was “Battle Fatigue”, and now its PTSD.

It doesn’t matter how many times I see Boebert in the news - she still seems to me to be a particularly gross and nasty tweaked-out cam girl who’s inexplicably been allowed to pretend to be a politician.
She got her GED so she could run for congress…
BARELY got her GED and had to take the test FOUR times.
“It’s funny cuz it’s true”
“Slammed…”

First “gop lawmaker” is REALLY a far too generous stretch for a boebert descriptor. “gop participant and known public handjob aficionado” maybe…
Second, the gop always DESPERATELY needs an acronym to funnel their implant hate through - seems clear that the emerging favorite these days is DEI with a hard “R”. Fucking cowards.
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAMMED

Is a DEI hire bad? I don’t think so. All those letters stand for good things.
I think the implication is that they’re not being chosen solely on their qualifications. So that would imply a lower bar and lower performance.
Which, of course, ignores the fact that there are likely multiple people from various races, ethnicities, genders and other identities which are all about equally qualified and getting a black woman in an administration run by a white man could bring needed perspective.
That’s certainly one possibility. I think it’s the other possibilities that folks have strong feelings about.
Well, thankfully we had a highly qualified white guy added to the Supreme Court, right?
/s for the delusional.
Yeah, sad times.
Yes. People have strong feelings about the possibility that a drag queen will groom their child into becoming trans.
They’re also wrong.
Why you think strong feelings are the same as reality, I don’t know. Are you a Trump voter?
Very far from a Trump voter and I’m disappointed to see presumptive and confrontational behavior from you. You’re normally levelheaded.
Then why does it matter what people feel strongly about as opposed to what the reality is?
I don’t know what to say to that. I didn’t say it matters, and I was trying to participate in the discussion thread.
My opinion is that the spirit of DEI is good, but sometimes I have personally witnessed first hand a decline in performance standards. I’ve worked for years with/near the federal government and I’ve seen what appears to be a particularly blatant DEI push at the cost of performance.
And an Asian colleague recounted to me that a school he was trying to send his child to had recently come under pressure to “loosen” their admittance test requirements because white and Asian folks were overrepresented. I’m sure you’re aware of the similar controversies at universities over the last decades.
When it comes to DEI, I’m not against any people or class of people, but it’d be intellectually dishonest to not recognize the inherent conflict here when you start considering people’s race as an admittance factor. Maybe the intention is to only give the minority an edge when performance with a white peer is exactly the same, but that’s not precisely what happens every time. It’s not something that makes me angry, and it may even be the right thing to do, at least in some cases. I only recognize it.
Cheers.

Of course that’s the spin this psychotic cunt is putting on it, but DEI hires are a real thing, and they don’t have to have a bad implication - let’s not let them own this phrase.
Right Wingers continue to just take terms and turn them into placeholders until they crank the hard R.
Thug —+ Woke -----> DEI
Ted Cruz’s former prostitute and abortion kompromat vessel called someone else DEI? That’s too rich.
“Ohhhh, You’re tough now, aren’t you motherfucker… HE’S A DEI!!! A DEI, DEI, DEI!!! Get his DEI ass out of here!!!”
-transcript from inside the gop’s cavernous heads, rolling around next to the guilt for never actually reading the bible and the last 5 grindr messages they responded to
lol. Brutal.
