Former Trump aide and current backer Sebastian Gorka referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “colored” during a cable news interview while he derided her as a “DEI hire.”

“Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) has become a popular political bogeyman among conservatives in what critics see as a code word for racial resentment, and “DEI hire” has become a theme of attacks on Harris — the first Black VP.

On Tuesday night’s edition of Newsmax TV’s Rob Schmitt Tonight, host Rob Schmitt didn’t bat an eye when Gorka explicitly decoded the term by attacking the vice president as a “DEI hire” seconds before referring to her as “colored”:

SEBASTIAN GORKA: It’s not up to Joe Biden! When the big donors say “You’re not getting a red cent. We are pulling the plug on the campaign,” then the Democrats are going to say, “Joe, what do you want?”

And right now, you know, Hunter is negotiating. I want a pardon. We want extra bags of cash. You’re going to give us sinecures. The hostage-takers are now negotiating for the presidency.

ROB SCHMITT: I mean, do these donors really think that Kamala Harris is going to do better in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania than Joe Biden would? I mean, that’s the point, because it can’t. It can’t be anybody else, right?

SEBASTIAN GORKA: Rob, you’re being logical. Stop it. All right. She’s a DEI hire, right? She’s a woman! She’s colored! Therefore she’s got to be good. And at least her brain doesn’t literally freeze in mid-sentence.

ROB SCHMITT: Yeah. Matt, your final thoughts? And what do you think about what Sebastian just alleged there?

MATT WHITAKER: Yeah, I think there’s been some pretty good analysis. And one of the main questions I keep getting is what’s going to happen to the money they’ve raised. And there’s been some analysis on that.
