Part 8/10:
Finally, the discussion marks the one-year anniversary of Kamala Harris' presidential bid—an event Rowan Dean dismisses as a costly and unsuccessful campaign. Harris, who spent over a billion dollars but failed to secure her party’s nomination, becomes the subject of Dean’s satirical critique about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Dean humorously suggests that Harris' candidacy was an experiment in affirmative action politics—emphasizing her selection as a DEI candidate based solely on her gender and racial identity, rather than electoral appeal. He mocks the idea that Harris was an unenthusiastic candidate universally ignored by voters, with supporters apparently only interested in celebrity appearances like Beyoncé.
