DEI is discrimination. You should be hired for your skills not color.

[@georgewilson4245]

Why is James Comer not investigated for colluding with a Russian Intelligence Operator Smirnoff for filing a fake report on Joe Biden?

[@DaTooch_e]

Are you not listening.

[@marvelvisionary]

@@DaTooch_e what do you mean?

[@pattilogrippo4171]

This woman is the symbol of what is wrong with DEI.

[@davidmecham9676]

How the fuck is AOC the ranking member in any committee??!! The fact that newyorkers keep voting for her really makes think pretty low of Newyorkers.

[@jackcaffrey8493]

agreed

[@SamSpodofora]

AOC rose to the top by lying on her back

[@barnabelerma5950]

Replace DEI with MEI (Merit Excellence Intelligence) that's IT!!

[@hdlc4635]

Every and any career advancement advice is "it's not what you know, it's who you know."

[@SSHitMan]

I lost 40 IQ points listening to AOC's discombobulated fact-free rant.

[@johnpetrig6949]

When a bartender Cardi B impersonator is your ranking member time to fast forward.

[@cptkirkp]

If discrimination is wrong then reverse discrimination is wrong as well..........full stop

[@astronautical1082]

No, that is not the case until equity is reached. We are far from that.

[@zephyrosuav9760]

​@@astronautical1082Equity doesn't exist, red. Come throw hands, stand on business. You won't

[@warlockpaladin2261]

​@@astronautical1082I doubt that you even know what equity is.

[@thunkjunk]

Equity is a utopian ideal that cannot exist in reality and trying to achieve these kinds of utopia always cause more harm than it is worth. Equality is a far far better concept because it is far far better for everyone.

[@astronautical1082]

@@thunkjunk No, because equity of outcome is the minimum level by which all people can achieve potential. Your worldview is about normalizing inequity so severe that most human potential is lost in abject poverty. As for your claims about equity; you don't know anything about anthropology or the implicit social contract that is in fact built on a minimum baseline of equity. below which no member is expected to endure. Try ethics sometime as well.

[@JolaChris]

@AOC - how about a real fact check on your lies???

[@jackcaffrey8493]

anyone feel weird about bringing up shit that happened before anyone in the room was born?

[@cathycarter5451]

That shouldnt mean letting men in women spaces

Thank you Comer for standing up for the white man.

Let’s all shed a tear for straight white male oppression. 😢

Okay folks let's do a test. I open and Electrical business, I advertise for an apprentice. 1 application says 3rd year apprentice, registered, and in school to work towards a license. 2nd application, no experience. Who would you hire?

[@DaTooch_e]

Who would you hire and who takes the job are 2 different things.

[@antonioravello7957]

June 10, 1964 Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen (R-IL) criticizes Democrat filibuster against 1964 Civil Rights Act, calls on Democrats to stop opposing racial equality. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was introduced and approved by a staggering majority of Republicans in the Senate. The Act was opposed by most southern Democrat senators, several of whom were proud segregationists-one of them being Al Gore Sr. Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson relied on Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen, the Republican leader from Illinois, to get the Act passed.

[@thehawk7064]

I thought there was going to be a serious and intelligent debate/conversation in this hearing… until i saw AOC show up… now i realize its a circus…

No there is not unanimous consent to include the Attorneys articles The Action is assert preference of State acknowledgement under the oversight of the nondiscrimination integration act by the way that is Army.

[@lejontajones]

Thanks forbes for letting me comment and communicate/ I have nothing else to say I'm getting tired of trying because this is what is happening to me I still have no pay when I'm the owner of these companies and it is hidden from me and my financial support that is why I'm on general assistance and it is sad that thus is America 🇺🇸 doing

I don't allow my own husband in the bathroom when I'm in the bathroom, why would allow a strange man in the bathroom when I'm in there, If a strang man came in the public bathroom or dressing room while I'm in there HE wouldn't be allowed, I guarantee it.

[@morningdew2594]

Sounds like she doesn't believe what she is saying. Somewhere in there she's turning her back on women and qualified workers. Thats why you see so many professional jobs severely lacking in quality work well done.

@@user-fr1ok9vj7q that’s the right’s narrative which means they know how smart she is and are intimidated.

AOC is embarrassing herself again probably 😂😂😂
