Rep. Ritchie Torres Howls ‘Racism!’ at KBJ Critics, Conveniently Amnesiac About Biden’s DEI Brag-Fest – Twitchy

Criticizing Ketanji Brown Jackson is now just racism according to Rep. Ritchie Torres. 

“Diversity hire” and “DEI hire” have become 21st-century racial slurs on the far right—invented by moral and intellectual mediocrities to demean Black professionals who far surpass them in talent and achievement. pic.twitter.com/feqwJAODo0

Or maybe Justice Brown Jackson is not behaving like a serious person and she deserves to be criticized.

Gee, I wonder why this is happening. https://t.co/kGFN2Z9o8J pic.twitter.com/PhNPzl5srX

That might be the reason.

(If Democrats want people like KBJ to stop being referred to as diversity hires, they should stop prefacing their hires with how the goal with their hire is to gain more diversity.) https://t.co/rX5EjnXNpZ

They should stop saying they were only hired for their gender or race. 

Was she or was she not hired – at least in small not-small part – because of her skin color? https://t.co/hjrPmhEZZS

Biden: I chose her because she is a non white woman
Kirk: Biden chose her because she is a non white woman

Idiots: WOW RACIST MUCH!? https://t.co/ZstE9W9c4f

Yes, the Right literally repeating what the Left says is now ‘racism’.

See, the thing is, Ritchie, when you pre-announce that you’re going to hire someone based on skin color, that person becomes a diversity hire by default. Everyone, and I mean everyone, loses from racial discrimination. You should already know this. https://t.co/VfOzMJMPxX

If the Left is looking for someone to blame, they should check the mirror. 

She was literally chosen because she is black. Just ask Joe Biden. https://t.co/QwjqWLb5CH

But wait, didn’t Joe Biden pretty much announce that she was a diversity hire? You can’t have it both ways. You can’t pat yourself on the back for insisting on a black female, and then somehow be insulted when someone complains that you prioritized race and gender over talent.… https://t.co/rqH4O54tfx

The Left thinks they have discovered the ultimate Catch 22.

I’m convinced this man’s tweets are concocted in a lab on the worst possible way to sell the Democratic party. https://t.co/c2wyUSy3Jh

They have no real selling points at this moment. 

Biden announced he would appoint a black woman to SCOTUS, and he did.

That is ‘DEI Hire’ BY DEFINITION.

And Democrats cheered him for it.

What changed? https://t.co/Xf2ueBVLYL

Biden literally said he would only nominate a black women and then he did it.

The very definition and irrefutable evidence of a DEI hire.

Kamala Harris too.

The Left is hurting their own candidates by making these type of claims.

Her labeling as a diversity hire was by the left. No one on the right had anything to do with it.

This is a problem of their own making.
