So DEI now just means the job went to a non-white, non-GOP, not-male person.
Convenient.

They’ve been using "dei" instead of racial slurs for a while. It’s all a part of their toxic plan.
It's not even a new idea. It's just the same weathered and worn "a minority couldn't possibly have the proper education to do this job," from uneducated idiots who... *checks notes... definitely don't have the education to do the same job and spend all their time trying to reduce access to education to minorities.
It's still the slaveowners attitude of purposefully keeping them uneducated and then judging them for their... lack of education. It's what stupid selfish controlling people have done to others for centuries, kick them down, and then berate them for having been kicked down. They don't like smart people who can talk back to them so they try to make sure they are the smartest person in the room by purposefully keeping everyone else dumb.
When everyone in a political party is vying to be the smartest person in the room by controlling information and making everyone else dumber, you end up with a joke shitshow like the US Republican party, which stands for nothing other than bullying and willful ignorance.
Isn't it amazing that the people advocating for a "STricT mERITocrACY" conspicuously ignore their meritocracy is very monochromatic?
Are you denying she’s horrible at her job? She’s quite possibly the worst-spoken press secretary ever.
I too would think that, had I just woken up from a coma and not known about the four press secretaries under Trump.
Edit: oh wait, the felonious traitor had five:
The Mooch, Spicer, Sarah "FuckTheCountry" Sanders, Stephanie "Never gave one press conference" Grisham and Kayleigh "My cross necklace proves how KKKhristian I am" McEnany.
The mooch was just perfect casting. He’s the guy you expect a person like trump to have as a spokesperson.
Too bad he lasted less than Liz truss.
The Mooch was easily my fav press secretary from that shit show.
FYI , if you haven't seen it yet, he's one of the whales on "Killer Whales", that crypto Shark Tank knock off. The show is wild, everyone talking shit about the products, but still saying they'd support it. And the prize isn't actually any sort of money for the schemes, just a mentorship with the whales. It's absolutely great to watch with a bag of popcorn.
Anto-DEI has always been a dog whistle for racism and sexism. Conservatives will screech DEI if a woman or person of color does literally anything.
"Politically correct" is old news, "woke" is losing steam, so now we move to "DEI".
Just like how it used to be "Shell shock", then it was "Battle Fatigue", and now its PTSD.

It doesn't matter how many times I see Boebert in the news - she still seems to me to be a particularly gross and nasty tweaked-out cam girl who's inexplicably been allowed to pretend to be a politician.
She got her GED so she could run for congress...
BARELY got her GED and had to take the test FOUR times.
"It's funny cuz it's true"
I’d smoke meth with that granny.
Maybe we could go to a dark theatre after.
"Slammed…"
First "gop lawmaker" is REALLY a far too generous stretch for a boebert descriptor. "gop participant and known public handjob aficionado" maybe...
Second, the gop always DESPERATELY needs an acronym to funnel their implant hate through - seems clear that the emerging favorite these days is DEI with a hard "R". Fucking cowards.

Is a DEI hire bad? I don't think so. All those letters stand for good things.
I think the implication is that they're not being chosen solely on their qualifications. So that would imply a lower bar and lower performance.
Of course that's the spin this psychotic cunt is putting on it, but DEI hires are a real thing, and they don't have to have a bad implication - let's not let them own this phrase.
Right Wingers continue to just take terms and turn them into placeholders until they crank the hard R.
Thug ---+ Woke -----> DEI
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAMMED
Edit: forgot an m
Ted Cruz’s former prostitute and abortion kompromat vessel called someone else DEI? That’s too rich.
anything Lauren Boebert says is comedy gold
if it's the ginger pistol I saw giving the press a verbal shellacking a while back, there's nothing DEI about her hire unless we count the fact she's like 91% angry viking barely restrained by some hard manners .... so, Norwegian-Canadian immigrant?
2b. Nah, I could watch her school press flacks all.freakin.day. She was on fire.
"Ohhhh, You're tough now, aren't you motherfucker... HE'S A DEI!!!! A DEI, DEI, DEI!!!! Get his DEI ass out of here!!!"
-transcript from inside the gop's cavernous heads, rolling around next to the guilt for never actually reading the bible and the last 5 grindr messages they responded to
lol. Brutal.
