Again, this is a broad coalition of people across the ideological spectrum whose top concern is making sure everyone rues and laments the “Woke Times” forever. It’s very much akin to the myths around “Negro misrule” in Reconstruction, which justified Jim Crow.

This is... so grotesque. Absolute anarchy.
The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

Just for clarity's sake, "DEI hiring" = desegregating the workforce. He is blaming a plane crash and everything else on desegregation. To be fair, we don't say desegregation because it sounds too scary to corporations, so here we are.
