It highlights a coalition of conservative groups and individuals \u200dwarning former President Trump to refrain from commenting\u2062 on\u200b Harris&#8217;s race and instead focus on her\u200c policies. The text argues that Harris&#8217;s selection \u200bas Biden&#8217;s running mate was strongly influenced by her identity as a Black woman, \u200dpositioning her as a quintessential DEI candidate. <\/p>\n<p>The author contends \u200cthat Harris and the\u200d Biden\u200b administration&#8217;s policies, especially regarding \u200dimmigration and law enforcement, are rooted \u2064in DEI principles, which the \u200bauthor associates with negative outcomes, including increased illegal immigration \u2063and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dc-selects-pamela-smith-as-police-chief-as-crime-in-city-soars\/\" title=\"Pamela Smith chosen as DC police chief amidst rising crime.\">rising \u200dcrime rates<\/a>. The\u2064 text criticizes Harris&#8217;s support for unrestrictive\u2062 immigration policies,\u2064 linking it to a broader agenda\u200c of racial equity that the author believes undermines national security and\u2062 public order.<\/p>\n<p>The author discusses the implications of Harris&#8217;s potential choice of a running mate for the 2024 elections, specifically mentioning \u2064Tim\u2062 Walz, the governor of Minnesota,\u200d who has\u2064 supported policies that benefit undocumented immigrants. In \u2064contrast, the\u2063 author suggests that other candidates, such as Josh Shapiro, face \u200cbacklash from within the \u2063Democratic Party for\u200d their positions on Israel.<\/p>\n<p>the critique raises concerns about the alignment of DEI \u2064ideology with perceived \u200dnegative societal impacts and accuses Harris of failing to confront \u2062issues like rising violence and crime linked\u200c to this ideology. The text concludes by linking the fallout from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-comer-biden-family-very-organized-crime-syndicate\/\" title=\"Rep.

Candidate Joe Biden chose her as his running mate in 2020 because she is a black woman, and she ascended to the apex of national politics due to her race and sex.<\/p>\n<p>Just as important, DEI is policy for Harris and the administration in which she serves. The Biden-Harris open-border devastation stems from a fundamental DEI concept: that it&rsquo;s racist to protect America&rsquo;s borders &mdash; and citizens &mdash; from illegal migrants who are overwhelmingly not white, and that Trump is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2019\/06\/24\/joe-biden-trump-immigration-racist-1377518\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cruel and racist<\/a> for having done so and promising to do so again.

On day one of the Biden-Harris administration, the White House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/01\/20\/executive-order-advancing-racial-equity-and-support-for-underserved-communities-through-the-federal-government\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">proclaimed<\/a> a new &ldquo;whole-of-government&rdquo; agenda focused on &ldquo;advancing racial equity.&rdquo; In case there was any confusion, Harris had helpfully <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KamalaHarris\/status\/1322963321994289154\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explained<\/a> in the 2020 elections that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-is-right-kamala-harris-and-tim-walz-are-the-dei-ticket\/\" title=\"Trump Is Right: Kamala Harris And Tim Walz Are The DEI Ticket\">equity means mandating equal results<\/a>, not offering equal opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2024, and Harris&rsquo; choice of Walz as her running mate demonstrates continued fealty to DEI ideology. As governor of Minnesota, he made illegal migrants eligible for <a href=\"https:\/\/minnesotareformer.com\/2023\/05\/20\/minnesota-to-allow-all-undocumented-residents-to-enroll-in-public-insurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">health care<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/local\/twin-cities\/2023\/05\/31\/minnesota-free-college-tuition-undocumented-immigrants-eligible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">college tuition<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/tim-walz-hit-over-illegal-immigration-record-after-harris-pick-win-open-borders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">driver&rsquo;s licenses<\/a> &mdash; courtesy of his state&rsquo;s taxpayers. Meanwhile, a top contender as Harris&rsquo; running mate, Josh Shapiro, the popular governor of the all<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/heres-fresh-evidence-bidens-using-your-tax-dollars-to-turn-out-democrat-votes-in-2024\/\" title=\"New proof: Biden employs taxpayer funds for Democrat turnout in 2024\">-important swing state<\/a> of Pennsylvania, drew vehement objections from the pro-Palestinian wing of the Democratic Party over his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/08\/05\/josh-shapiro-israel-gaza-vice-president-harris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pro-Israel<\/a> positions.<\/p>\n<p>Did Shapiro&rsquo;s condemnation of antisemitic riots and support for Israel cost him a chance to be the Democrats&rsquo; vice-presidential pick? Maybe. What is certain is that Harris and Walz, and their party, have rationalized and encouraged both race-based violence and the DEI ideology that feeds it.<\/p>\n<p>While the politics of the Middle East are complicated, the perverse, uncontained antisemitism that exploded on college campuses across America last fall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/diversity-scam-university-antisemitism-scandal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">drew <\/a>inspiration and justification from a simple concept: Violence in pursuit of so-called racial or social justice is acceptable. This same concept fueled the George Floyd riots of 2020 &mdash; for which Walz&rsquo;s state served as ground zero &mdash; and empowered the dramatic expansion of DEI bureaucracies afterwards in academia, government, and corporate America.<\/p>\n<p>Walz is one of DEI&rsquo;s biggest apologists. After Floyd&rsquo;s death in May 2020, Black Lives Matter (BLM) race riots ravaged Minneapolis. Although the city&rsquo;s Democrat mayor requested that Walz send in the National Guard, Walz was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startribune.com\/what-america-needs-to-know-about-tim-walz-of-minnesota\/600386013\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">immobilized<\/a> by fear and indecision. Minneapolis burned for three days while he dithered.<\/p>\n<p>As Manhattan Institute scholar Heather Mac Donald has documented, Walz <a href=\"https:\/\/manhattan.institute\/article\/rioting-looting-arson-and-violence-have-become-a-civilization-destroying-pandemic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">apologized<\/a> &mdash; to the rioters &mdash; for his white privilege. It was a grotesque display of cowardice and failure in leadership, and leftist politicians across the country engaged in the same. Harris herself promoted a fund to bail out violent rioters.<\/p>\n<p>The bloody riots fueled the rise of the &ldquo;Defund the Police&rdquo; movement and popularized the dangerous notion that it is racist for cops to uphold law and order. Policies implemented on this premise led to dangerously under-resourced police departments, and the rampant crime that followed led even black Democrat mayors in America&rsquo;s largest cities to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/politics-news\/democrats-went-defund-refund-police-rcna14796\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">call for<\/a> &ldquo;refunding the police&rdquo; just two years later.<\/p>\n<p>In Oakland, California, where Harris was born and launched her 2020 presidential campaign, crime became so widespread that the local branch of the NAACP last year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naacpoakland.org\/post\/end-oakland-s-public-safety-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">denounced<\/a> the city&rsquo;s failed leadership and the movement to defund the police, noting that the public safety crisis &ldquo;overwhelmingly affects minority communities.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Neither Trump nor his allies should be afraid to attack the moral bankruptcy of DEI that has fueled the Biden-Harris policy disasters. That does not mean those unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the convoluted and controversial nature of race or sex politics should seek out opportunities to pontificate publicly. It does mean that the appropriate surrogates should be prepared to attack DEI ideology <em>and<\/em> the DEI candidate.<\/p>\n<p>When Trump triggered much outrage at the recent National Association for Black Journalists conference by suggesting that Harris leans into her two racial sides (black and Indian) depending on which benefits her most at the moment, perhaps someone on Team Trump should have pointed out that, four years ago, no one on the DEI-obsessed left was clamoring for their vice president to be an Indian woman.<\/p>\n<p>Harris&rsquo; DEI status &mdash; and her DEI worship &mdash; are <em>her<\/em> weakness, not Trump&rsquo;s.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p>      Ying Ma&nbsp;is the president of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/americanidealspac.com\/\">American Ideals PAC <\/a> and author of <a href=\"https:\/\/americanidealspac.com\/\">Chinese Girl in the Ghetto<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right-leaning groups and individuals, who typically have differing views, are united in advising former President Donald Trump to refrain from discussing Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s race and instead focus on her policy decisions. However, they cannot conceal the reality that Harris embodies the essence of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles. Joe Biden selected her as his running mate in 2020 primarily because she is a Black woman, which has significantly contributed to her rise in national politics.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, DEI is central to both Harris&#8217;s agenda and that of the Biden administration. The administration\u2019s approach to border control reflects a core DEI belief: that safeguarding America&#8217;s borders from illegal immigrants\u2014who are predominantly non-white\u2014is inherently racist. Consequently, under Harris&#8217;s oversight as the border czar, around 10 million undocumented immigrants have entered the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>On various issues such as crime prevention, education reform, and military preparedness, Democrats have implemented DEI policies that many argue have worsened conditions in the country. From day one of their administration, Biden and Harris emphasized a &#8220;whole-of-government&#8221; strategy aimed at promoting racial equity. To clarify any misunderstandings about this concept during the 2020 elections, Harris indicated that equity involves ensuring equal outcomes rather than merely providing equal opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>As we approach 2024, Harris\u2019s selection of Walz as her running mate further illustrates her commitment to DEI ideology. As Minnesota&#8217;s governor, he extended benefits like healthcare access and driver\u2019s licenses to illegal migrants at taxpayer expense. Meanwhile Josh Shapiro\u2014a potential vice-presidential candidate known for his pro-Israel stance\u2014faced backlash from pro-Palestinian factions within the Democratic Party due to his positions on Israel.<\/p>\n<p>It remains uncertain whether Shapiro\u2019s condemnation of antisemitic protests affected his chances for nomination; however it is clear that both Harris and Walz have supported ideologies linked with race-based violence stemming from DEI principles.<\/p>\n<p>The complexities surrounding Middle Eastern politics aside; last fall saw an alarming surge in antisemitism on college campuses across America fueled by a troubling notion: violence justified by claims of racial or social justice is permissible. This idea also incited riots following George Floyd&#8217;s death in 2020\u2014events centered around Minneapolis\u2014and led to an expansion of DEI initiatives across various sectors including academia and corporate America.<\/p>\n<p>Walz has been one of DEI\u2019s staunch defenders; after Floyd was killed in May 2020 amidst BLM protests wreaking havoc on Minneapolis streets\u2014despite requests for National Guard intervention\u2014the governor hesitated while chaos ensued for three days before taking action.<\/p>\n<p>Scholar Heather Mac Donald noted Walz even apologized\u2014to rioters\u2014for his white privilege\u2014a display many viewed as cowardly leadership failure echoed by leftist politicians nationwide; notably including Harris who advocated for funds supporting violent protestors\u2019 bailouts.<\/p>\n<p>These riots catalyzed movements like \u201cDefund the Police,\u201d promoting dangerous ideas suggesting law enforcement efforts were inherently racist leading ultimately to severely underfunded police departments which resulted in increased crime rates prompting even some Black Democratic mayors two years later calling for police funding restoration.<\/p>\n<p>In Oakland\u2014where Kamala Harris was born\u2014the crime rate escalated so dramatically last year that local NAACP leaders criticized city leadership failures alongside defunding efforts citing public safety crises disproportionately impacting minority communities.<\/p>\n<p>Trump allies should not shy away from highlighting how morally bankrupt DEI policies contribute significantly to Biden-Harris failures despite potential discomfort with discussions surrounding race or gender politics among some conservatives\u2014they should be ready instead tackle these ideologies head-on along with their representative candidates directly associated with them.<\/p>\n<p>When Trump recently sparked controversy at a conference by suggesting that Kamala navigates between her dual racial identities based on convenience\u2014it might\u2019ve been beneficial if someone pointed out how four years ago no one within leftist circles clamored for an Indian woman vice president amid their fixation on diversity metrics.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately it is not Trump but rather Kamala\u2019s adherence worshipping at the altar of DEI which represents vulnerability moving forward into upcoming electoral battles ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Ying Ma serves as president of American Ideals PAC authoring works such as *Chinese Girl In The Ghetto*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3255,"featured_media":2326780,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Harris-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[16574,6759,11553,32438,36113],"class_list":["post-2326779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-dei","tag-diversity","tag-inclusion","tag-kamala-harris","tag-tim-walz"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Harris-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2326779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3255"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2326779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2326779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2326780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2326779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2326779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2326779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
