Susan Rice Blasts Trump’s Attacks on DEI While ‘Dumb as a Rock’ Pete Hegseth ‘Deemed Qualified’

‘Anybody who fits the mold of somebody who is not a white Christian cisgender male, is by definition in this administration deemed inferior’

(Via Mediaite)

EXCERPT:

RICE: “Well, if you’re a white male Christian cisgender macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock and be deemed qualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. That’s apparently what we’ve learned from this episode. But let’s also be clear, there’s a serious point here. DEI has been used as a slur to suggest that anybody who might be a woman, might be a person of color, might be a religious minority, might have a disability, might be a religious minority, might be a veteran, or of Native descent, anybody who has benefited in any way, shape, or form from the notion that we all should be treated equally and that we should be viewed on the basis of our merits and not discounted because we happen to be a woman or happen to be a person of color.”
