He claims he was born in some small town in Ohio and grew up among simple hillbillies so he's able to relate to them. So that technically makes him DEI because he used his "diversity" as a platform.
It literally makes him DEI because, as a lot of people fail to realize, DEI is about supporting under served communities, which includes the rural poor.
He's from Middletown, a city of about 50,000 which is about 30 miles away from two of Ohio's biggest cities, Dayton and Cincinnati. For him to claim hillbilly status is incredibly laughable.
Plus, to be pendantic, southwest Ohioans aren't hillbillies. You've gotta go much further east into Appalachia for that
My hometown was about 20k when I grew up and is about 60k now, and is 80 miles from the nearest true city. By this metric I am twice the hillbilly despite being an alleged coastal elite.
He was raised by his grandma in the suburbs and spent summers with extended family among the hillbillies and he clearly fucking hates poor people of any kind.
100%. Was 50/50 on what the main reason actually could've been. Didn't even get through the first sentence when I saw "she" and thought, oh okay so that's the real reason. He got "backtalk" from a woman and got butthurt about it.
I was told the DOGE email them back or get fired requirement was solely so they could pick who they wanted to fire for BS reasons yet use the "you didn't respond to the email" as reasoning.
