Former White House adviser Susan Rice said Tuesday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that it was “extremely offensive and dehumanizing” to say Vice President Harris is a DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) hire.
Host Wolf Blitzer said, “Donald Trump is already slamming her, Kamala Harris, in his words as being ‘dumb as a rock,’ his words. He says she’s dumb as rock, other Republicans are saying she was at diversity hire. What’s your reaction when you hear that?”
Rice said, “That is extremely offensive and dehumanizing. Let me tell you what it means when somebody calls a person like me or anybody else a DEI hire. What that means is, if you are a woman of any background, if you are a person of color, if you are an immigrant, if you are LGBTQ, if you are disabled, if you’re religious minority, if you’re a veteran and you achieved success rose to a position of leadership you didn’t deserve it, you didn’t get there on merit you got there because you got some unfair advantage. That is incredibly insulting to the vast majority of Americans who fall into all of those categories.”

Of course calling her a “DEI hire” is offensive.
That’s the point. It’s also the truth.
1. One possible rejoinder: Biden called President Trump a "loser" and "evil." That is likewise extremely offensive and dehumanizing.
2. Second option: "Then be offended! Facts are facts! We don't care about your feelings!"
Regards,
Truth hurts.
Then Biden shouldn’t have made gender & race a prerequisite for his VP.
Because we feel the same way. DEI is offensive.
And what of calling Trump Hitler and Republicans nazis every other breath?
Rice is afraid to get put in the same DEI basket as harris because of her jammaican background parallel to harris background.
What are we supposed to pretend that she was chosen as VP based on her abilities? Rice is kidding right?
My lying eyes...
Exactly. We are supposed to celebrate DEI. Therefore we should be celebrating Kamala’s candidacy, right? Kamala even has a video about DEI equity. In it, she extolls the virtue of everyone ending up in the same place regardless of where they start. She started out on her knees and look at her today!
Nice try, throwing "veteran" into the mix, as though it were not something earned.
Classic case of "equivocation."
In contrast, being Black or female is, indeed, an "unfair (unearned) advantage."

They go on and on all the time about the importance of “first black, gay, lesbian, trans etc. You don’t get it both ways. You don’t get to ram that crap down everyone’s throat and then tell people they can’t call it what it is.
The GOP better pick a synonym to radical and get in lockstep repeating it on every show and interview about every issue. The time to brand her is running short before voting begins. Radical doesn't move the needle. I suggest Zealot. Far left California zealot on the issues of x,y and z.
Willie Brown’s Ho is better.
Susan Rice says it because she’s one too!
Just like his supreme court pick...he said black and female...and exactly what he delivered...
Tempest in a teapot...Along with obama, Susan Rice was a DEI hire...
not to mention accurate
Hey Susie...You are a DEI hire! Aren’t you ALSO MARRIED TO A JEWISH MAN?
Since DEI is now a taboo subject, I think we should raise it as often as possible.
That zealot brand blunts abortion issue too because she wants me to pay for infanticide
