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.”

    I mean, that just kinda proves the point further?

    Anybody that’s gonna vote for Trump is gonna vote for him regardless of who his VP is. The VP is only TeChNiCaLlY an elected office, because 99.99% of people are voting for the president and not the VP.

      At this point, we should be voting on who is chosen as VP. It’s almost certain either one will be the 49th. (That is, if we don’t go full monarchy and get some Drumpf spawn as 49th “president”)

        At this point, I think the best thing would be for Biden to run, get re-elected, and then die early in his term to make Kamala Harris the President. I’m not super thrilled about her but I think she’s better than just about any other option we’ve got at the moment.

        I just don’t trust this fucking electorate to vote for a Black, Indian, Woman for president.
