Tennessee Representative, Tim Burchett, recently said the Kamala Harris had been the “DEI choice for Biden” when he ran for president, meaning that Kamala was only picked, as part of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,” meaning that she was picked for her ‘color,’ not qualifications. The highly-unqualified Burchett, (who was picked for his color, along with so many of his Republican colleagues) ironically never thought to credit the previous Republican DEI selection criteria (selecting only those white guys who were Dumb, Egotistical and Insecure) for his current position in the House of Representatives.

Mangy Fetlocks is a proud Wisconsinite, and although he wasn’t REALLY asked to write the official Republican National Convention Song, he learned from Trump that it’s not what you do, but what you SAY you do that matters in our post-truth MAGA America, and Mangy SAYS he wrote the National Convention Song and Mangy has been an official in a children’s soccer game once, so his claim is just as honest as Trump’s pussy-grabbing statements or his “I never took any documents” claims.
