"I saw her interview this morning in the New Yorker, if it came out today or yesterday, but I think what you're seeing and what Karen is attesting to is that she is quite incompetent to do the job, right? This is what Republicans have been saying for years now, is that she is just another evidence that DEI doesn't work, whether that's in the White House in your press secretary role or whether that's, you know, an air traffic controller, an air pilot,"
"You know, gay woman is DEI, but a white woman who is behind the podium right now, which DEI initially started as affirmative action, which was about affirmatively hiring women and minorities, why is one DEI and the other is not?"
"I will just say she used to be a commentator on CNN, then she was one on MSNBC, and she was good at that. Like, I mean, without getting into the job I thought she did as press secretary, it didn't seem crazy to me because she was eloquent as a commentator."
"Because that's how she's been promoted her entire career."
Katie Miller described Karine Jean-Pierre as a DEI hire and asserted that Jean-Pierre is incompetent for the White House press secretary role. Miller argued that DEI results in hiring based on identity rather than merit and invoked examples from air traffic control to medicine. Miller questioned why Jean-Pierre was chosen over John Kirby. Karen Finney pointed out that DEI originally focused on hiring women and minorities and questioned inconsistent DEI labeling. Jake Tapper noted Jean-Pierre's prior success as a television commentator, while Miller said Jean-Pierre emphasizes her Black, queer, LGBTQ identity and career promotion on that basis.
