22. DEI HIre
Fri Jan 17, 2025, 08:01 PM

It appears that Governor DeWine is going to pick someone else, but if it had been indicated that Vivek Ramaswamy was going to be the choice, Democrats should have called him a DEI hire every day. If the Republicans can call Vice President Kamala Harris a DEI hire with all of her experience Democrats should be able to call Ramaswamy a DEI hire. Ramaswamy, like JD Vance, does not have anywhere near the experience that Vice President Harris had before becoming a Senator. I am aware that there is no set amount of experience that is required for someone to become a Senator; however, since Republicans claimed Vice President Harris was a DEI hire, everyone they pick who has less experience than her should be called a DEI hire.
