Outgoing President Joe Biden has quite the knack for setting the stage for a comedy routine. In a speech just two months ago, he labeled his own Vice President Kamala Harris as a “diversity, equality, and inclusion” (DEI) pick. So, a Democrat calling his own right-hand woman a DEI selection is not just political fodder—it’s like a ticket to a circus show. The irony is thick as Biden himself boasts about having the “most diverse administration in history” while simultaneously opening the floor for a round of chuckles at Harris’s expense.
Back in May 2024, Biden was still trudging through his presidential campaign, promoting his choice of Harris during a speech in Philadelphia. This wasn’t just some casual shout-out; Biden explicitly stated that values like diversity and inclusion are the “core strengths of America.” Now, isn’t that rich? Here’s a man who, not so long ago, bragged about selecting Harris based on these very virtues, only to have some folks across the aisle now arguing that calling her a DEI pick is somehow offensive. Talk about a plot twist worthy of Hollywood!
Joe Biden Himself Called Kamala Harris a DEI Vice President Just Two Months Ago

The latest twist in this political thriller involves Harris herself. She didn’t seem to have any issue with Biden’s proclamation until she became the presumptive Democratic nominee. Funny how that works. Now, allies are rushing to claim that associating her with DEI is derogatory. One can only wonder what the backlash would be if Biden had decided to put a spotlight on her political achievements instead. Spoiler alert: There wouldn’t be much light to shine on.
It’s no secret that Harris was chosen for her skin color and gender, a truth as glaring as the neon lights on a Vegas strip. The dance started back in 2020 when then-House Majority Whip James Clyburn struck a deal with Biden. In exchange for securing South Carolina’s votes, Biden promised to select a black woman as his vice president. In the political realm, this kind of arrangement is practically a rite of passage. Harris’s choice was practically sealed when she, having fizzled out of the race before the Iowa caucus, found herself wearing a vice presidential crown instead.
Despite the glaring admission of DEI motivations, the establishment media has been quick to hurl accusations of racism at anyone daring to make the connection. It begs the question: does this mean Biden is a racist too? After all, he’s the one who labeled Harris as a DEI pick. Trying to navigate these contradictions in the Democrat narrative is like playing hopscotch on a minefield. Perhaps time will indeed reveal whether the real irony of the situation will be the Democrats’ inability to keep their narratives straight while they dance around the truth.
