America May Soon Be Subjected to the Country’s First DEI President: Kamala Harris
Charles Gasparino, New York Post, July 6, 2024
There is a raging debate in corporate America on the future of DEI, aka Diversity Equity and Inclusion, because it is literally destroying businesses that go there.
And yet the American public may soon be subjected to DEI writ large in the next president of the United States, if Kamala Harris finds her way to the top of the Democratic ticket while Joe Biden wilts away as the party’s presidential nominee after his horrific debate performance.

Even he if does stay and achieves the near impossible by pulling out a victory, you can bet he won’t survive four years. Harris becomes the nation’s first DEI president by default. For the American people it would be such an unfair and odd coronation.
Remember, she’s part of an administration that gave us inflation, world chaos and an open border that literally invites terrorists to enter the country and kill people.
She has spent nearly four years as Biden’s No. 2 flubbing every assignment given to her, including the border mess.
That’s on top of her manifest unlikability {snip}
She once suggested during a 2020 primary debate that her current boss was a racist for being against federally mandated busing.
But Biden’s busing stench wasn’t nasty enough to stop her from jumping at the chance to serve as his VP when DEI came calling.
Following the 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, the pressure on Biden to pick a woman of color as his running mate was intense.

Harris checked all the boxes {snip}

Yet if you delved, you would see a weak record of accomplishment, and weird personal tics (that aforementioned laugh), and an intense desire for power.
First Lady Jill Biden is said to have hated her but as one Dem operative told me before Joe Biden made her his VP: “She’s black and that is all that matters.”

Some Dems I speak to caution me it’s not all DEI giving Harris the edge to replace Biden.
She is, after all, the VP. If she’s on a new ticket, it gets to keep money raised already, not start from scratch.
OK, but I can’t imagine money will be an issue.

The Dem money machine on Wall Street and Silicon Valley is formidable.
Yet the country might just be stuck with Harris as president if Sleepy Joe wins and stumbles his way to resignation while in his second term, or if Biden drops out in the coming days and she becomes the nominee.
All because DEI is the Democratic Party’s touchstone, no matter how much evidence amasses that it’s a failed ideology.
