Watch: Whoopi Goldberg Loses Her Mind After Kamala Harris Gets Called a ‘DEI Hire’ Live on CNN
Gment-to-praise-kamala-harris-after-she-gets-covid/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Whoopi Goldberg abruptly halted a segment of the show to praise Harris after she contracted COVID-19, calling her a “true leader.”
Considering this context, it is not unreasonable to wonder if Biden, under pressure from his own party and the media, selected Harris as his running mate primarily because of her race and gender, rather than her qualifications and experience.
Regardless of the motivations behind her selection, Harris’ performance as vice president has been lackluster at best. From her cringeworthy attempts at humor to her embarrassing diplomatic gaffes, Harris has not inspired confidence in her ability to step into the role of president should the need arise.
It is not racist or sexist to criticize Harris’ shortcomings as a leader. Holding our elected officials accountable for their actions and decisions is a fundamental principle of democracy. Attempting to shut down legitimate criticism with baseless accusations of bigotry only serves to undermine genuine efforts towards equality and justice.
As Harris continues to struggle in her role as vice president, it is imperative that we assess her performance objectively, without regard to her race or gender. The future of our country depends on our willingness to hold our leaders to account, regardless of their identity or background.
They demand action based first and foremost on skin color and chromosomes. First and foremost.
Then, if you happen to notice that their demand for action based first and foremost on skin color and chromosomes has predictably resulted in the elevation of a cackling mediocrity, they denounce you as a bigot.
Tuesday on ABC’s “The View,” unhinged co-host Whoopi Goldberg provided the latest example of this despicable pattern.
In a clip of the show posted to the social media platform X, Goldberg responded to a comment by Republican Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee, who, while speaking to a CNN reporter, denounced Vice President Kamala Harris — the presumptive 2024 Democratic presidential nominee — as a “DEI hire.”
“First off, he said he’s gonna hire a black female for vice president,” Burchett said of President Joe Biden’s selection of Harris as his running mate in 2020.
“When you go down that route, you take mediocrity, and that’s what they have right now as a vice president,” Burchett added, referring to decisions that prioritize irrelevant physical characteristics.
Goldberg took issue with Burchett’s claim that Biden “said” he would choose a black woman as his running mate.
“He never said that. He said he was thinking about a woman,” Goldberg insisted.
Then, despite having once opined that “Doctor” Jill Biden, Ed.D., would make an excellent U.S. Surgeon General, Goldberg demanded that Burchett stick to “factual” and “accurate” remarks.
Finally, in the familiar tone of moral condescension so often employed by intellectual lightweights of her ilk, the repellent co-host accused Burchett of racism and sexism.
“You’re trying to send a little message about the fact that she’s a woman of color,” Goldberg said. “We all see it. We know what you’re doing. Stop it.”
When equally repellent co-host Joy Behar asked why “these white men” are scared of important black women, Goldberg responded to her fellow intellectual lightweight as only an intellectual lightweight could.
“Because black women and women of color freak people out. I don’t know why,” Goldberg said.
The View doesn’t like that Kamala is known as a DEI hire by Biden. Whoopi, who lies often on the show, proclaims: “If you’re going to attack people, try — try to do it in a factual manner. I know that is almost insane for you to think about…” pic.twitter.com/lPc2SUuZI4

Did Biden select Harris as his running mate because of her skin color and chromosomes?
In April 2020, according to NPR, more than 200 black women described as “leaders and activists within the Democratic party” penned an open letter urging Biden to choose a black woman.
Four months later, more than 100 black men did likewise, per CNN.
“Many Democratic leaders, meanwhile, have said they hope the pick breaks new ground by elevating a woman of color,” The Washington Post noted in August 2020.
In September 2023, “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin — another disgusting race-monger — described black Americans as a monolithic voting bloc whose members would abandon Biden should he replace Harris as his 2024 running mate.
“Ninety-one percent of African Americans voted for Biden and will continue to vote for Biden if Kamala is his running mate,” Hostin said. “I would be very careful, President Biden, about getting rid of Kamala Harris because we will not support you.”
In short, they demanded that Biden choose Harris because of her skin color. And they demanded that Biden retain Harris because of her skin color. Then, they accused you of racism for noticing that she holds her position because of her skin color.
The despicable pattern never changes.
