'All-out assault': Hakeem Jeffries insists U.S. Constitution mandates DEI ideology
[WND] House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told left-wing activists Thursday that the Trump administration was carrying out an "all-out assault on civil rights" by opposing diversity, equity and inclusion.
Temu Obama™
President Donald Trump issued an executive order within hours of taking office on Jan. 20, 2025, mandating an end to DEI efforts in the federal government. Jeffries told attendees of the National Action Network annual convention that DEI was mandated by the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.

"No matter what these extremists are trying to do with their all-out assault on civil rights, on voting rights, certainly on diversity, equity and inclusion — and we won't let these extremists get away with lying to the American people," the New York Democrat maintained. "They want to suggest that diversity, equity, and inclusion are foreign values. They're not foreign values, they're American values."

#5  Former lawmaker dying of cancer says Senate full of 'blowhards' when it should be greatest deliberative body

Sasse, battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer, says both parties rely on amplifying fringe voices rather than solving problems

#6  Just when you think he can't say anything dumber.

#7  DEI is the exact opposite of equal protection. I guess that concept is a bit too difficult for a man of limited capacity like Jeffries.

#8  Jeffries knows he would've, at best, run a small business if it wasn't for DEI?
Posted by: Grom the Affective || 04/10/2026 12:46 Comments || Top||

#9  OK. Maybe he's not stupid. Maybe he lies like this on purpose because he's evil and he thinks people are stupid enough to believe him and elect him to positions of power where he can do unspeakable evil. Unfortunately, it seems quite a few people are just that stupid.

Democrats have a way of saying things like this as if they are universally accepted truths when, in fact, they are flat out lies. It's sickening. It's how you know they are evil.

#10  There must be someone out there that has information that would get Jeffries put in jail. I just wish they would come forward. Perhaps a Go Fund Me?

#11  @AU = Unfortunately the only people who listen to him are that stupid.

#12  Its hard to abandon a racist playbook and attitude when it has gotten you places and things your own native talents never could...
Posted by: NoMoreBS || 04/10/2026 15:22 Comments || Top||

#13  That's the problem with Temu Obama - it's barometer is about two years behind the culture.

It's like what Auguste Gusto said, "A good chef can come from anywhere." This is true; putting a bad chef into a good chef's position does not make the bad chef good, and blaming the customers for noticing the food is now shit doesn't make that chef good, either.

Star Trek: Learing Academy is a blunt example of what happens to a program, mission, or position literally awashed in DEI.

#14  BTW, whatever happened to the investigation into the DC control tower after the plane vs. helicopter?
Posted by: swksvolFF || 04/10/2026 16:16 Comments || Top||

#15  ^
the control tower was overworked and thus delayed in their calls to the aircraft

#16  Ref #14: Likely won't hear much more. Helo approach to National is emergency EXFIL for congress critters. My guess is helo EXFIL plan is still in effect, just not talked about. Dulles would make more sense.....but congress critter's time is precious.
