We've Got the Receipts: Joe Biden Admitted Kamala Harris Is a DEI Hire
PJ Media ^ | 08/02/2024 | Matt Margolis

There's been a ton of buzz since Donald Trump's Q&A session with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) at their annual convention on Wednesday, particularly the part when ABC senior congressional correspondent Rachel Scott took issue with Republicans dubbing Kamala Harris a "DEI hire."

"Some of your own supporters, including Republicans on Capitol Hill have labeled Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the first black and Asian woman to serve as Vice President and be on a major party ticket, as a DEI hire," Scott began. "Is that acceptable language to you? And will you tell those Republicans and those supporters to stop it?"

There is just one problem with her question. Joe Biden has admitted that Harris is a DEI hire, and we have the video to prove it.

At the end of May, Biden and Harris appeared together at a campaign event at Girard College in Philadelphia to kick off “Black Voters for Biden-Harris,” an initiative designed to help bolster support from black voters. It was an important event considering that polls showed that Donald Trump was gaining support from this critical, traditionally Democrat-leaning voting bloc. Here's what he had to say about Harris during the event.

"To me, the values of diversity, equality, inclusion are literally — and this is not kidding — the core strengths of America," Biden declared in a campaign speech at Girard College Philadelphia just a couple of months ago. "That’s why I’m proud to have the most diverse administration in history that taps into the full talents of our country. And it starts at the top with the Vice President."

Can you imagine what it was like for Harris to stand there and watch Biden call her a DEI hire?

The first rule with a DIE hire is never to call it a DIE hire

“diversity, equality, inclusion”

No. The media will just say Biden misspoke. “ See he even accidentally said equality instead of equity. Ignore what your lying eyes are telling you. Trump is a racist!”.

I’ve been sharing that May quote, plus his pre-selection of Harris criteria for several weeks. She IS a DEI hire.

Biden goes all in for DEI at a Girard College Pa, “Blacks for Harris” campaign event.

“To me, the values of diversity, equality, inclusion are literally — and this is not kidding — the core strengths of America. That’s why I’m proud to have the most diverse administration in history that taps into the full talents of our country. And it starts at the top with the Vice President.”


Harris had to stand there and watch Biden call her a DEI hire.

Didn’t he promise, in 2020, to pick a black woman?

And it starts at the top with the Vice President.”’

That probably explains why for every member of his administration instructions are printed on every sheet of toilet paper on “How to use”.

To people who would vote for her, it’s not even an issue.

The way the Dementiacrats are swooning over Kommiela, DEI is evidently a resume enhancement in her case.

Affirmative action hire?

Just because someone isn’t white doesn’t mean they are a DEI hire or that they are not qualified for the job. Is Ben Carson qualified to be a surgeon, or was he a DEI hire? Also, Harris was elected to the offices of DA, AG, Senator and Vice President.

What are “regular “ people?

She was the insurance policy against him getting impeached.

Just like he was the insurance policy against Obama getting impeached.
