A
Florida Congressman has slammed his
Tennessee Republican counterpart for calling
Kamala Harris a 'DEI hire' - saying he might as well have used the N-word.
Maxwell Frost, 27, erupted in fury after Representative Tim Burchett insisting on
CNN that the vice president was not the Democratic candidate based on merit.
'They want to call her a DEI president, or a DEI candidate. She has more experience than Trump and
J.D. Vance combined, times a million, right?' he told
CNN's Jim Acosta Tuesday.
'She worked at the state level, she was the attorney general, she was
vice president, she was a senator representing one of the largest states in the entire country.
'And so these are just racist dog whistles. Whenever you hear DEI, I want you to think about the N-word. I want you to think about racial slurs. That's what they actually mean,' he concluded.
