The former Trump official joins a group of Republicans who have referred to the vice president as a diversity hire

Newsmax personality and former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka described Vice President Kamala Harris a “DEI hire” and “colored” in an interview on Tuesday.

In the segment, Gorka, himself accused of inflating his credentials as a terrorism expert, predicted that Biden will be forced to withdraw from the presidential race if major Democratic donors “pull the plug.”

    she was only elected in that she was attached to the ticket that people were actually voting for.

        The very existence of Sarah Palin might give that theory a run for it’s money. She almost single-handedly tanked McCain’s election chances back when people doing bizarre and outrageous shit would actually convince voters that they were *checks notes* unqualified for the position.

          Not murican here, just to prove your point. I remembered Sarah Palin as a stupid VP ticket, but forgot who was the president candidate.
