GOP lawmaker makes comment about Harris’ race. Hear what he said

GOP Rep. Tim Burchett referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as a “DEI hire,” as she is on track to become the first woman of color nominated for president by a major party. #CNN #News

"Her record is abysmal at best" says Tim Burchett, the guy who prioritized the Refrigerator Freedom Act and the Dishwasher Standards Act over the DHS Appropriations and Coast Guard Authorization Acts.... because neutering the Department of Energy so his industry backers can do whatevs to the consumers he's supposed to be representing is apparently more important than funding the groups responsible for protecting the security and integrity of our national borders.

I like the dream Dr. King spoke of . The day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Last I checked, the Vice President of the United States isn't hired, the person is elected.

Yep, racism is still alive and well in American politics.

Thanks for reminding us, Tim Burchett.

I dont understand how black, latino and asian people can vote for a rasist party. Its a big riddle!

As soon as I saw it was Burchett, I KNEW it was going to be some racist shit.

British person here. We just had a Hindu Prime Minister of South Asian descent. He celebrated Diwali with his family on the steps of 10 Downing Street. No fuss, no bother. Why are these 20th century issues still such a problem for the US? Don't you get tired of it all?

I'm voting for Harris. I'm not going back. This WOMAN votes.

I love how they clearly imply that Harris is only there because of her race and sex, but wouldn't say the same of the orange guy.

DEI applies to both racism and sexism.

Burchett took the GOP oath: I swear to give my Christianity up & make despicable comments on TV in order to stay in the GOPs good graces

Good ol’ boys….shakin’ in their boots.

Go figure. 👀🤔

Has Trump said black Men like sneakers and mugshots that seems like it could be a little racist to me.

[ML-vjvk]

They're mad about her taking black jobs lol

Joe Biden's presidential hopes were DOA in 2020. Until Black folks in the South Carolina primary led by Jim Clyburn gave him in much needed shot of adrenaline! So there was nothing wrong with Joe Biden giving back to people who helped him. That happens in politics all the time. But it's only a problem when black people are involved!

Gee, a racist GOP member what a surprise. I will say it’s nice when they clearly admit what they are.

[pokey]

The GOP is desperate and ignorant. Keep talking trash like this and you all will be out of a job. WE WILL MAKE SURE OF IT at the ballot box. Voting is our power. 💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲

I’m looking forward to joe handing over the reins to Kamala in January 😊
