‘That ##$$#$# Can’t Happen’: Grenell Says DEI Must Not Slow Fire Cleanup

LOS ANGELES, California — Ambassador Ric Grenell told federal, state, and local leaders that he would not tolerate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) criteria slowing down the process of cleaning up and rebuilding after L.A. fires.

“That #@###$#$ can’t happen,” Grenell said, saying that he had heard that subcontractors for debris removal were being delayed because they were trying to find “the right mix” in terms of DEI requirements, slowing down the process.

“If we hear about specific instances, we’re going to highlight them,” he warned. “That #$##@#$# can’t happen, okay? We want people who can get here and remove things. I don’t care about the color of their skin, I don’t care if they’re in a wheelchair. We want people to be able to do the job and get it done, and not hold up because we have some quota system.”

They are slow walking also for gain and to get evil Klaus Schwab and his WEFs Great Reset rolling along into a “15-Minute City” stood up in the Palisades ruins.

Corrupt and lawless in the service of Satan.

“We want people to be able to do the job and get it done, and not hold up because we have some quota system.” Very well stated Sir.

“they were trying to find ‘the right mix’ in terms of DEI requirements,”

Have they learned nothing from their round-table meeting with POTUS?

Why are they slow walking this project? Waiting for BlackRock to get their ducks in a row and invade?

“there is the problem. there is no mix, get rid of it.”

Segue on the mix, they should hire the DEI contractors that poired the concrete for the Obama Presidential Center. By the way, it looks like the Berlin flak tower.
