Summer Lee called on GOP officials who "bastardize" the term to "face their own fears."
Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) slammed “shameful” Republicans on Wednesday for their support of the “Dismantle DEI Act,” a bill that falls in line with right-wing attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
“Contrary to Republican conjecture, remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination,” said Lee in remarks at a House Oversight Committee meeting.
“And we’re not going to sit here and pretend racism is over just because one Black person on the Supreme Court agreed that it should be.”
The bill — introduced by Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas) — looks to “abolish” all federal DEI offices and eliminate funding for federal DEI programs, as well, according to a House Oversight Committee press release.
