Fellow conservatives: The Harris DEI attacks are doomed to backfire

The diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) nonsense being leveled at Vice President Kamala Harris by certain Republicans must stop. I say that as one who is strongly opposed to most DEI hiring programs. 

I do believe that in putting identity politics before merit, qualifications and real-world experience, we run the risk of weakening or endangering the institutions that employ the practice. To be clear, I truly don’t care if someone is gay, straight, trans, black, white, brown, male, female, faith-based or an atheist.
