She's good. She's very very good. You'd really think she hadn't seen that email before.

[@madrussian1339]

How they pretend to be surprised when confronted with evidence implicating them is almost laughable

[@jimdavis6833]

At what point do the people step in and stop this unreasonable bureaucratic growth? VOTE WISELY, PEOPLE.

[@jonc6157]

Damn straight !

[@jasperstone9114]

I agree, but stupid people vote for their own demise...81 million of them! Or so we are forced to believe.

[@billbillerton6122]

Voting has nothing to do with it as we've all seen.

[@jasperstone9114]

@@billbillerton6122 It isn't who the people vote for it is WHO COUNTS THE VOTES! Joseph Stalin

[@chrisfoster9942]

We might not be able to vote our way out. We may have to obtain "F15s" and "AR14"

[@maryhirsch7170]

She's full of it- she's seen it, probably wrote it!

[@jameslewis7634]

She just said overtly and this is the issue with these folks

[@johnscreekmark]

Right on Ted Cruz!!

[@uscg1381]

Her saying this isn't happening is cause for termination. This is what's wrong with leadership in the federal government. Ask me how I know.

DEI needs to DIE ! They are going away from MLK and going towards a weird neo-commie racism against the majority.

[@elizabethlarson1260]

If discrimination isn't happening then I guess she isn't needed. Remove her position.

[@jamesalexander949]

Equity for a job is a joke. This whole dept is a joke, DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION? How about best candidate gets the job

[@doubanjiang]

DEI is a sham. It's crazy how much the State Department is devoting to this while our adversaries around to world continue to work against us with impunity. Foreign Service officers are even required to address how they have advanced DEI concepts in the annual performance evaluations used to determine promotions. SO glad I am not a part of today's foreign service.

[@bruceferry3825]

Look at her... ACTING as if she's inocent.

[@kellypbr7742]

I really get sick of them always saying, "thank you for the question." What do they think they are there for?

[@swifttalon9763]

its to waste time, they need the questioning to be as fruitless as possible so they talk slow and with frivolous words.

[@MarieMcDonald-ty5tb]

They are ALL blatant liars!!!

[@user-ql5hu1nl5d]

Why is no one suing them?

[@zettour.]

"...the right religion...". Holy shit. I don't think even the Pope dares say a statement like that.

[@rolling126r]

Question: "Did you clear this guidance (referring to email)? Answer: "Thank you for the question, Senator. I've never seen that (referring to the email) before." Is it just me or did she not answer the question? I mean it's a simple "no" in order to deny the accusation. But instead she deflects the question to something else...to the email which she can truthfully say that she has never seen before. Hmmmm....

[@sarahshouse1890]

rolling126r...Good point and observation! She's such a liar, it's disgusting!

[@lauranoon]

They don't show this stuff on the news. It's eye opening.

[@efnik1]

Equity via discrimination is perverted bs

[@Quintavious-Gooch]

I experienced this first hand 15 years ago as "diversity" mandates exploded within large corporations...I suppose that was the beginnings of "wokeness".
