Alex Wagner talks with a panel of MSNBC colleagues about the bizarre insistence that Kamala Harris is not qualified for the positions she has held, accusing her of being a thinly veiled racist euphemism "DEI hire" even though she became attorney general, senator and vice president by election, not "hiring," and she is eminently qualified for all of them, as well as president.

    The more fear the Republican Party have about their demise in November, the more they will show their true colours.

    Nothing like a laughing woman to trigger the incel army... deplorable

    Make America Laugh Again 💙🇺🇸

    Vance got a job at a Biotech company as a favor to Billionaire Peter Thiel. But he's against affirmative action. You know because it's all about merit 🙄
  • @rikkitikkiusa
    It is so shocking that this is done. About "DEI". This is men who worry they could never have gotten the job or done it. The joy and enthusiasm we all feel about and with and for Kamala is wonderful. The Love we feel for Biden is wonderful.

    Let’s not forget only the 2nd black female elected to the US Senate!
  • @JBean_COCR
    Right on ladies, this is so true, women have born the brunt for way too long, I'm a 67 year old white male and have seen this purposeful prejudice against women my whole life, it is way past time for a women president and Kamala has my vote
  • @Kevin-bb9qz
    Kamala is the DEI candidate! Dedicated Educated Impressive
  • It is immensely insulting for Republicans to call Kamala Harris a "DEI hire." Not only is it incredibly disrespectful. It is not true. This insult cuts deep in black communities across American. For any elected Republican official to rudely state this is not only hurtful & wrong. This is a mistake that will cost them votes. Americans from all backgrounds should push back against Republicans for acting this way.
  • @joemack10
    Women are ready to step up! Vote 💙 KAMALA 24😊
  • @dawnalbright
    When is the last time Kamala Harris was even hired? She has been an elected official for decades. Getting elected involves more than uploading a resume.
  • @karencrowley616
    Laughter is the best medicine ! You go KAMALA!!! Vote blue all the way !!
  • She’s the daughter of a professor at Stanford. Her mother has a PhD and is a researcher. Trump has to rely on an uncle to prove how smart his genes are.
  • @kimbercole2438
    If they cannot keep their racism in check - then get then OUT & OFF federal property, state property, local - anywhere that tax payers pay for. Squeaker of the house Johnson and boss entire party need to go!!
  • @arkhsm
    As a white male : if it's not time to elect a woman President, then when will it be people...?! NOW IS THE TIME !!
  • Kamala is the most qualified between her, Trump and Vance… even when you combine the “accomplishments” of those 2 clowns.
  • Dear god when Mike Johnson tells you to chill on your racism you have fallen all the way off. Unreal.
