The Tennessee Republican also used the acronym for "diversity, equity and inclusion" in describing the Secret Service director, telling her she's a "DEI horror story."

    DEI is the new N word. It’s a racist dog whistle.

      Hold up.

      It’s also sexist.

        It’s literally all forms of bigotry, because anyone of any disadvantaged group could be called “DEI.”

        The only group it doesn’t apply to is rich, white, able-bodied, straight, cis, Christian, never-jailed, well -educated men*.

        I might have missed an adjective, but you get the idea.

      its the new woke.

      still a dogwhistle though.

      theres surely a reason why they regularly change up the terminology like this.

      This use is a racist fog horn, but otherwise I agree.

      Starting to feel it’s gone beyond a dog whistle. Most of those are far more low-key, like “thug” or “urban” or “welfare queen”. And this one is more clearly defined by facts and usage than “woke”.

      They might as well come out and say, “This is what comes from hiring n*****s and women!”

        They’re pathetic fucking cowards who won’t just say what they mean because they know they can’t win running as open racists.

    A mediocre politician from a gerrymandered district thinks someone else got an unfair advantage? That’s cute.

    It begins… The levels of racism/sexism we are going to see from the GOP over the next few months is going to be wild.

    Edit: look at the misogyny already on full display… https://www.instagram.com/p/C9vYle9hpqw/

    Attacking her for her race and gender is just lazy.

      Agreed. It just means they have nothing else to attack her with.

      Attacking her on something else would require a modicum of expert knowledge, which is clearly too much to ask of any GOP member.

    And so it begins, lol.

    These idiots can’t help themselves, and they don’t understand that they’re hurting their own chances. Their brains simply aren’t wired to comprehend that normal human beings don’t respond positively to this stuff.

    I wonder how much of Congress is there on top of white privilege hires from rich mommy and daddy. Not to mention the sausage fest that is the presidency. Yeah, I’m sure that’s almost all white men by merit alone. /s

    I’m an Undecided Voter who isn’t Racist and isn’t a Republican but I think he has a Fair Point! How CAN we Trust Karma Kameleon if she was hired based on DEI and NOT her Qualifications?
