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

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.
