Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) was mocked on social media as a self-proclaimed “DEI hire” after appearing to publicly boast about getting hired as a public defender with no experience because she demanded to get the job due to being black.
“When I first became a public defender, I had no criminal defense experience, and I walked in, and I told my boss, Charlie, I said, ‘Listen, you should hire me.’ He said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘Because I’m black,’” Crockett said during a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight meeting on Wednesday.

Crockett went on to say, “Charlie looked at me like I was crazy,” adding that she told the man, “Let me tell you something, when I walk in, I’m going to walk in with a level of rapport and understanding that maybe some of my other colleagues will not.”
After that, “Charlie offered me the job,” the congresswoman revealed.
That figures. I said before she was an affirmative action hire………same thing!
No, she was explaining that she had a better understanding of the criminal justice system ‘because she was black’. If it weren’t for systemic racism, then she wouldn’t have had that qualification.
More like deformative action.
