  1. He didn't know what DEI stood for, lol

  2. He straight up not only admitted, but used it as an argument in his favor, that he didn't know that the running mate of his opponent in the last presidential election was Black. He also just recently found out that the Vice President of the country for the last 3.5 years is Black. HE'S RUNNING FOR FUCKING PRESIDENT!! 🤣🤣🤣

There is no possible analogy that I can make up to show how ridiculous this is because it's already at max ridiculousness. Any analogy would make it less ridiculous. There's absolutely no other election or application process in the world or history of humanity that would be more ridiculous because it's an ex-President running against the current Vice President for President.

omg, you can't make this shit up.

Whether or not he knew she was black doesn't even matter. He was trying to say she never identified as black until recently, trying to make it seem like she was pandering to black voters or even lying about being black. It's way more insidious than "not knowing."
