    Let’s backup for a second here.

    Nobody on any point on the political spectrum that I’m aware of have ever denied Harris was selected because she was a Black Woman.

    However, the assertion that Joe Biden called her a DEI hire is flat-out incorrect. This article has to set a stage and take a Biden quote out of context to make that claim, because it didn’t happen.

    The quote was:

    “Diversity, Equality and Inclusion are literally the core strengths of America. That’s why I’m proud to have the most diverse administration in history… it starts at the top with the Vice President”

    He said DEI is a strength of America…….and that he’s leaning into it. His VP pick is one way of demonstrating that.

    This post is designed to make conservatives chuckle cause “libruls dum” and make anyone left of that seethe because of the inaccuracies contained within.

    In other words it’s true, but Biden never actually said that. You’re being misled if you think otherwise. It’s not a “gotcha” by any stretch of the imagination. It’s mincing words to try and have a point.

    Do better.

      Wait, conservatives lying to push their unpopular agenda? I’m shocked! Shocked! No wait what’s the complete opposite of that?
