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.”

    Not a good reason. I’m of the opinion that half the reason we got Trump in 2016 was because the right’s wall-eyed rage against Hillary turned out to be not so impotent after all. Everyone thought Trump would lose, but the right hated Hillary so much, it gave even those who were unmotivated by Trump a reason to go out just to vote against her. Anything that motivates the right to get up and go vote is a bad thing.

      Nah, she also has better polling than Biden. I’d rather have a chance to win than definitely lose, Harris is the most realistic option.

      The rage from the right has reached its saturation point, there simply aren’t enough bigots left to boost Trump’s numbers. Only way Dems lose is they fail to produce turn out, Biden simply has too much toxic baggage.
