Former Trump Aide Criticized for Calling Kamala Harris a 'DEI Hire'

John Ullyot faces backlash for comments on Vice President Harris during live Newsmax interview

John Ullyot claimed Barack Obama is influencing the Democratic presidential nomination process.
Ullyot suggested Kamala Harris was selected as Vice President due to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) pressures.
Newsmax host Sarah Williamson and Democratic columnist Ellis Henican condemned Ullyot's remarks.
The term 'DEI hire' is increasingly used by Republicans as a derogatory reference to diversity initiatives.
Fox News contributor Charlie Gasparino also criticized Harris's rise to Vice President as a result of DEI policies.
