Victor Davis Hanson: DEI Is an ‘Ideological Shelter' for the Incompetent
2025-11-07
[Daily Signal] In this segment from today’s episode of "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words," Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler break down how DEI was a "shelter" for the likes of former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, and former first lady Michelle Obama whining again about how the Obamas had it rough in the White House because they’re black.

Also on today’s episode, Hanson and Fowler take a deep dive into the partisan, perhaps impeachable, misdeeds of Judge James Boasberg, plus California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s incomprehensible comments about former President Joe Biden’s lucidity.

Victor Davis Hanson: Yeah, I remember the cemeteries thing about all the ...

Jack Fowler: So many churches burned down for nothing.

Hanson: I don’t think anybody realizes, and I don’t realize, that everybody talks about DEI, DEI, but it is very pernicious because it does two things. It doesn’t just destroy meritocracy, but it encourages people to use criteria other than empiricism for an agenda that you can do almost anything by a DEI argument.

You can say, "I didn’t get the job because of this. The job wasn’t done. I didn’t come to class because of this. The bomb didn’t hit the target because of this. The plane crashed, it wasn’t my fault because of this." It’s like Marxism in the Soviet Union. It really was an ideological shelter for people to flee to who were incompetent.
