Whoopi Goldberg Shuts Down Claim That Kamala Harris Is A “DEI Hire” On ‘The View’: “Women Of Color Freak People Out”

Whoopi Goldberg is defending Vice President Kamala Harris from attacks coming her way as she launches her campaign for the Democratic nominee for president. On this morning’s episode of The View, Goldberg annihilated conservative politicians like Rep. Tim Burchett who are claiming Harris is a “DEI hire.”

Goldberg begun the segment by telling the audience that Republicans “have been ramping up their attacks on why she’s unfit to serve” and playing a clip of Burchett telling CNN that Harris is “mediocre” and “100% … a DEI hire.”

In the clip, Burchett says, “First off, [Joe Biden] says he’s gonna hire a Black female for vice president. He just skipped over — what about, what about white females? What about any other group?”

After the clip concluded, Goldberg swiftly shut down Burchett’s remarks, proclaiming, “[Biden] never said that. He said that he was thinking about a woman. He never said her color, he never said anything.”
